¹⁷ They sacrificed to demons that are not Elohim,
    to gods they never heard of.
        These were new gods, who came from nearby,
            gods your ancestors never worshiped.

⁴ Their idols are made of silver and gold.
    They were made by human hands.^[a]
5         They have mouths, but they cannot speak.
        They have eyes, but they cannot see.
⁶         They have ears, but they cannot hear.
        They have noses, but they cannot smell.
⁷         They have hands, but they cannot feel.
        They have feet, but they cannot walk.
        They cannot even make a sound with their throats.
⁸             Those who make idols end up like them.
                So does everyone who trusts them.

⁵ Come, descendants of Jacob,
    let’s live in the light of Yahweh.
