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.+

 6 There are those who lavish gold from their purse;

They weigh out the silver on the scale.

 7 They lift it to their shoulders;+

They carry it and put it in its place, and it just stands there.

They cry out to it, but it does not answer;

It cannot rescue anyone from distress.+
