Their idols are silver and gold,
    the work of human hands.(A)
They have mouths, but they do not speak;

They have ears, but they do not hear;
    they have noses, but they do not smell.
They have hands, but they do not feel;
    they have feet, but they do not walk;
    they make no sound in their throats.
