New English Translation
Psalm 135:15-17
New English Translation
15 The nations’ idols are made of silver and gold;
they are man-made.[a]
16 They have mouths, but cannot speak,
eyes, but cannot see,
17 and ears, but cannot hear.
Indeed, they cannot breathe.[b]
Footnotes
- Psalm 135:15 tn Heb “the work of the hands of man.”
- Psalm 135:17 tn Heb “indeed, there is not breath in their mouth.” For the collocation אַף אֵין (ʾaf ʾen, “indeed, there is not”) see Isa 41:26. Another option is to take אַף as “nose” (see Ps 115:6), in which case one might translate, “a nose, [but] they have no breath in their mouths.”
