Psalm 135:17

17 Ears they have, and they give not ear, Nose -- there is no breath in their mouth!

Psalm 135:17 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 135:17

They have ears, but they hear not
(See Gill on Psalms 115:6);

neither is there [any] breath in their mouths;
they are lifeless statues, they have not so much as what the brute creatures have, breath; our Jehovah, as the living God, is rightly opposed to them, who gives life, and breath, and all things, unto man; and yet what amazing stupidity is it, that any of them should worship such as gods, who have not what they themselves have.

Psalm 135:17 In-Context

15 The idols of the nations [are] silver and gold, Work of the hands of man.

16 A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,

17 Ears they have, and they give not ear, Nose -- there is no breath in their mouth!

18 Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.

19 O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah, O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah,
