Psalms 135:16 In-Context

14 God stands up for his people, God holds the hands of his people.

15 The gods of the godless nations are mere trinkets, made for quick sale in the markets:

16 Chiseled mouths that can't talk, painted eyes that can't see,

17 Carved ears that can't hear - dead wood! cold metal!

18 Those who make and trust them become like them.
