Psalms 135:16 In-Context

14 For ADONAI will vindicate his people, he will take pity on his servants.
15 The idols of the nations are mere silver and gold, 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; and they have no breath in their mouths;
18 The people who make them will become like them, along with everyone who trusts in them.
