15

The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
The work of men’s hands.
16

They have mouths, but they do not speak;
They have eyes, but they do not see;
17

They have ears, but they do not hear,
Nor is there any breath in their mouths.
18

Those who make idols are like them [absolutely worthless—spiritually blind, deaf, and powerless];
So is everyone who trusts in and relies on them.(A)
