Psalm 135:17

17 They have ears, but they can't hear; Neither is there any breath in their mouths.

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, The work of men's 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 hear; Neither is there any breath in their mouths.

18 Those who make them will be like them; Yes, everyone who trusts in them.

19 House of Israel, praise Yahweh! House of Aaron, praise Yahweh!
