Psalms 135:16 In-Context

14 The LORD gives justice to his people and has compassion on those who serve him.

15 The nations' idols are just silver and gold— things made by human hands.

16 They have mouths, but they can't speak. They have eyes, but they can't see.

17 They have ears, but they can't listen. No, there's no breath in their lungs!

18 Let the people who made these idols and all who trust in them become just like them!
