4 Their idols are silver and gold,(A)
the work of human hands.(B)
5 They have mouths but do not speak,
eyes but do not see.
6 They have ears but do not hear,

IV
15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold,(A)
the work of human hands.
16 They have mouths but do not speak;
they have eyes but do not see;
17 They have ears but do not hear;
nor is there breath in their mouths.
18 Their makers will become like them,
and anyone who trusts in them.
