The (B)work of human hands.
They have mouths, but they (C)cannot speak;
They have eyes, but they cannot see;
They have ears, but they cannot hear;
They have noses, but they cannot smell;
[a]They have hands, but they cannot feel;
[b]They have feet, but they cannot walk;
They cannot make a sound with their throat.
(D)Those who make them [c]will become like them,
Everyone who trusts in them.

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.
