Print
CEB
Even after observing this, the Chaldeans themselves are unable to abandon the idols because they have no sense.
NRSVA
Yet they themselves cannot perceive this and abandon them, for they have no sense.
NRSVUE
And the women, with cords around them, sit along the passageways, burning bran for incense.
RSV
for when they see a dumb man, who cannot speak, they bring him and pray Bel that the man may speak, as though Bel were able to understand.
WYC
Which when they hear that a dumb man may not speak, offer him to Bel, and ask of him to (be able to) speak; as if they that have no stirring, may (or be able to) feel. [Which when they shall hear the dumb not to be able to speak, offer him to Bel, asking of him for to speak; as (if) they be able to feel, which have not moving.]
