Verse 17 is found in chapter 135 of Psalms. Psalm 135 combines liturgical praise with a strong critique of idolatry. God is worthy of praise because he chose Jacob, acted in Egypt, defeated kings, and gave land to his people. Idols are described as objects unable to speak, see, or breathe, while the Lord acts in heaven, earth, and sea. Historical memory and polemic against idols converge in an invitation to bless the living God.

sie haben Ohren, und hören nicht; auch ist kein Odem in ihrem Munde.
Tienen orejas, y no oyen; Tampoco hay espíritu en sus bocas.
Tienen oídos, pero no escuchan; tampoco hay aliento en su boca.
Elles ont des oreilles et n'entendent point, Elles n'ont point de souffle dans leur bouche.
Hanno orecchi, e non odono; Ed anche non hanno fiato alcuno nella lor bocca.
Têm ouvidos, mas não ouvem, nem há respiro algum nas suas bocas.
有耳卻不能聽, 口中也沒有氣息。
