Psalms 115:2-8

21Why should the nations say, “2Where, then, is their God?”3But our 3God is in the heavens; He 4does whatever He pleases.4Their 5idols are silver and gold, The 6work of human hands.5They have mouths, but they 7cannot speak; They have eyes, but they cannot see;6They have ears, but they cannot hear; They have noses, but they cannot smell;78They have hands, but they cannot feel; 9They have feet, but they cannot walk; They cannot make a sound with their throat.810Those who make them 11will become like them, Everyone who trusts in them.
