Thematic Bible: Those that trust in idols


Thematic Bible

As for the images of the heathen, they are but silver and gold, the work of men's hands. They have mouths, and speak not; eyes have they, but they see not. They have ears, and yet they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths. read more.
They that make them are like unto them; and so are all they that put their trust in them.
