| 5They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see. | 5They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see; |
| 6They have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell. | 6they have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell; |
| 7They have hands, but cannot touch; feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even groan with their throats. | 7they have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even clear their throats. |
| 8Those who craft them will become like them, as will all those who trust in them. | 8Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them. |

| 18But we will bless the LORD from now to eternity. Hallelujah! | 18But it is we who will bless the LORD, both now and forevermore. Hallelujah! |
