7 T hey have hands but they cannot feel. They have feet but they cannot walk. They cannot make a sound come out of their mouths.
They have hands, but they do not handle; Feet they have, but they do not walk; Nor do they mutter through their throat.
8 T hose who make them and trust them will be like them.
Those who make them are like them; So is everyone who trusts in them.

The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord ’s; But the earth He has given to the children of men.
17 T he dead do not praise the Lord. Neither do those who go down into the quiet place.
