  • Ps 115:4-8 : 4 Their idols are siluer and gold: euen the workes of mens handes. 5 They haue a mouth and speake not: they haue eyes and see not. 6 They haue eares and heare not: they haue noses and smell not. 7 They haue handes and handle not, they haue feete and walke not: and they vtter no sounde out of their throtes. 8 They that make them are lyke vnto them: euery one that putteth his trust in them.
