3 But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men's hands.
5 They have mouths, but they don't speak; They have eyes, but they don't see;
6 They have ears, but they don't hear; They have noses, but they don't smell;
7 They have hands, but they don't feel; They have feet, but they don't walk; Neither do they speak through their throat.
8 Those who make them will be like them; Yes, everyone who trusts in them.
