5  ^wThey have mouths, but do not speak;

eyes, but do not see.

7  They have hands, but do not feel;

feet, but do not walk;

and they do not make a sound in their throat.

16  ^qThey have mouths, but do not speak;

they have eyes, but do not see;

5  Their idols¹ are like scarecrows in a cucumber field,

and ^zthey cannot speak;

^athey have to be carried,

for they cannot walk.

Do not be afraid of them,

for ^bthey cannot do evil,

neither is it in them to do good.”

18  “What ^cprofit is an idol

when its maker has shaped it,

a metal image, a teacher of lies?

For its maker trusts in his own creation

when he makes ^dspeechless idols!
