Psalms 135:17

15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.

16 They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;

they have ears, but cannot hear; nor is there breath in their mouths.

18 Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.

19 O house of Israel, bless the LORD; O house of Aaron, bless the LORD;

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
