The idols of the nations are silver and gold,

the work of human hands.

They have mouths, but do not speak;

they have eyes, but do not see;

they have ears, but do not hear,

nor is there any breath in their mouths.

Those who make them become like them;

so do all who trust in them.

and so will all who trust in them.

And those who make idols are just like them,

as are all who trust in them.

The idols of the nations are silver and gold,

the work of the hands of humankind.

They have mouths, but cannot speak;

they have ears, but cannot hear;

there is not even breath in their mouths.

Those who make them become like them,

as does everyone who trusts in them.

KJV 1900King James Version

The idols of the heathen are silver and gold,

The work of men’s hands.

They have mouths, but they speak not;

Eyes have they, but they see not;

They have ears, but they hear not;

Neither is there any breath in their mouths.

They that make them are like unto them:

So is every one that trusteth in them.
