the hills like lambs.

O Jordan, that you turned back,

you hills, like lambs?

2Why do the nations say,
“Where is their God?”

3Our God is in heaven;
he does whatever pleases him.

4But their idols are silver and gold,
made by the hands of men.

5They have mouths, but cannot speak,
eyes, but they cannot see;

6they have ears, but cannot hear,
noses, but they cannot smell;

7they have hands, but cannot feel,
feet, but they cannot walk;
nor can they utter a sound with their throats.

8Those who make them will be like them,
and so will all who trust in them.
