They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:

Verse 5 is found in chapter 115 of Psalms. Psalm 115 radically contrasts the living God with idols made by human hands. The idols have mouths, eyes, and ears in appearance, but lack real ability to act. The text warns that those who trust in them become like them, unable to respond. In contrast, Israel is called to trust in the Lord, who blesses and remembers his people. The conclusion turns trust into an ongoing vocation of praise.

Sie haben Mäuler, und reden nicht; sie haben Augen, und sehen nicht;
Tienen boca, mas no hablarán; Tienen ojos, mas no verán;
Tienen boca, pero no hablan; tienen ojos, pero no ven.
Elles ont une bouche et ne parlent point, Elles ont des yeux et ne voient point,
Hanno bocca, e non parlano; Hanno occhi, e non veggono;
Têm boca, mas não falam; olhos têm, mas não vêem.
有口卻不能言, 有眼卻不能看,
