4But the statues of their gods are made out of silver and gold.

They are made by the hands of men.

5They have mouths, but they can’t speak.

They have eyes, but they can’t see.

6They have ears, but they can’t hear.

They have noses, but they can’t smell.

7They have hands, but they can’t feel.

They have feet, but they can’t walk.

They have throats, but they can’t say anything.

8Those who make statues of gods will be like them.

So will all those who trust in them.

9People of Israel, trust in the Lord.

He helps you. He is like a shield that keeps you safe.

10Priests of Aaron, trust in the Lord.

He helps you. He is like a shield that keeps you safe.

11You who have respect for the Lord, trust in him.

He helps you. He is like a shield that keeps you safe.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Their idols are silver and gold,

the work of human hands.

They have mouths, but do not speak;

eyes, but do not see.

They have ears, but do not hear;

noses, but do not smell.

They have hands, but do not feel;

feet, but do not walk;

and they do not make a sound in their throat.

Those who make them become like them;

so do all who trust in them.

O Israel, trust in the Lord!

He is their help and their shield.

O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord!

He is their help and their shield.

You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord!

He is their help and their shield.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

But their idols are silver and gold,

made by human hands.

They have mouths, but cannot speak,

eyes, but cannot see.

They have ears, but cannot hear,

noses, but cannot smell.

They have hands, but cannot feel,

feet, but cannot walk,

nor can they utter a sound with their throats.

Those who make them will be like them,

and so will all who trust in them.

All you Israelites, trust in the Lord—

he is their help and shield.

House of Aaron, trust in the Lord—

he is their help and shield.

You who fear him, trust in the Lord—

he is their help and shield.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Their idols are silver and gold,

made by human hands.

They have mouths but cannot speak,

eyes, but cannot see.

They have ears but cannot hear,

noses, but cannot smell.

They have hands but cannot feel,

feet, but cannot walk.

They cannot make a sound with their throats.

Those who make them are just like them,

as are all who trust in them.

Israel, trust in the Lord!

He is their help and shield.

House of Aaron, trust in the Lord!

He is their help and shield.

You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord!

He is their help and shield.

NLTNew Living Translation

Their idols are merely things of silver and gold,

shaped by human hands.

They have mouths but cannot speak,

and eyes but cannot see.

They have ears but cannot hear,

and mouths but cannot breathe.

They have hands but cannot feel,

and feet but cannot walk,

and throats but cannot make a sound.

And those who make idols are just like them,

as are all who trust in them.

O Israel, trust the Lord!

He is your helper and your shield.

O priests, descendants of Aaron, trust the Lord!

He is your helper and your shield.

All you who fear the Lord, trust the Lord!

He is your helper and your shield.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Their idols are silver and gold,

the work of human hands.

They have mouths, but cannot speak;

they have eyes, but cannot see;

they have ears, but cannot hear;

they have noses, but cannot smell;

they have their hands, but they cannot feel,

their feet, but they cannot walk;

they cannot utter a sound in their throats.

Those who make them become like them,

as does everyone who trusts in them.

O Israel, trust Yahweh;

he is their help and their shield.

O house of Aaron, trust in Yahweh;

he is their help and their shield.

You who fear Yahweh, trust in Yahweh;

he is their help and their shield.

KJV 1900King James Version

Their idols 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:

Noses have they, but they smell not:

They have hands, but they handle not:

Feet have they, but they walk not:

Neither speak they through their throat.

They that make them are like unto them;

So is every one that trusteth in them.

O Israel, trust thou in the Lord:

He is their help and their shield.

O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord:

He is their help and their shield.

Ye that fear the Lord, trust in the Lord:

He is their help and their shield.
