And they proclaim everywhere that their hand has touched, to spread their voice in the camp of the blind and to bring forth a name to lifeless idols, so that people will believe in them and trust in all their words and affairs. Even if they say right is left, and unclean is clean, let no one doubt them. And against them, there are others, the wise of metals, who understand the cultivation of falsehoods in these masks.
Their souls are disgusted with the deceivers; they mock them and scoff at them. But from recognizing the falseness of these idols, they completely abandon themselves and also ridicule the angels of God, mocking His words and deceiving His prophets. For it pleases them to be empty. And they have enough among the foreign-born, in the brothels, circuses, and theaters, to sweeten their secret.
By reading foreign books and words of flattery, they agree and harmonize with them, thinking that they will achieve their ultimate success. There are no wise ones in their eyes like themselves, and no discerning ones comparable to them.
