Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men.

The verse 9 is found in chapter 10 of Jeremiah. Jeremiah contrasts idols with Yahweh. The former must be made, decorated, and carried; God, by contrast, is the true, living, and eternal God, creator of the earth. The satirical description dismantles the claim that human religious objects can control destiny.

Silbernes Blech bringt man aus Tharsis, Gold aus Uphas, durch den Meister und Goldschmied zugerichtet; blauen und roten Purpur zieht man ihm an, und ist alles der Weisen Werk.
Traerán plata extendida de Tarsis, y oro de Uphaz; obrará el artífice, y las manos del fundidor; vestiranlos de cárdeno y de púrpura: obra de peritos es todo.
On apporte de Tarsis des lames d'argent, et d'Uphaz de l'or, L'ouvrier et la main de l'orfèvre les mettent en oeuvre; Les vêtements de ces dieux sont d'étoffes teintes en bleu et en pourpre, Tous sont l'ouvrage d'habiles artisans.
L’argento, che si distende col martello, è addotto di Tarsis, e l’oro di Ufaz; sono opera di fabbro, e lavorio di mani di orafo; il lor vestimento è giacinto e porpora; essi tutti sono lavoro d’uomini industriosi.
Trazem prata batida de Társis e ouro de Ufaz, trabalho do artífice, e das mãos do fundidor; fazem suas roupas de azul e púrpura; obra de peritos são todos eles.
錘煉的銀片是從 他施 來的, 金子則從 烏法 而來, 都是匠人和銀匠的手工; 又有藍色和紫色的衣服, 全都是巧匠的作品。
