4 Their idols are silver and gold,

The work of human hands.+

 5 A mouth they have, but they cannot speak;+

Eyes, but they cannot see;

 6 Ears they have, but they cannot hear;

A nose, but they cannot smell;

 7 Hands they have, but they cannot feel;

Feet, but they cannot walk;+

They make no sound with their throat.+

 8 The people who make them will become just like them,+

As will all those who trust in them.+

 9 All who form carved images amount to nothing,

And their cherished objects will be of no benefit.+

As their witnesses, they* see nothing and know nothing,+

So those who made them will be put to shame.+
