Psalms 135:16
Psalms 135:13-18 The Message (MSG)
GOD, your name is eternal, GOD, you’ll never be out-of-date. GOD stands up for his people, GOD holds the hands of his people. The gods of the godless nations are mere trinkets, made for quick sale in the markets: Chiseled mouths that can’t talk, painted eyes that can’t see, Carved ears that can’t hear— dead wood! cold metal! Those who make and trust them become like them.

Psalms 135:16-18 The Passion Translation (TPT)
Their possessions will never satisfy. Their lifeless and futile works cannot bring life to them! Their things can’t talk to them or answer their prayers. Blind men can only create blind things. Those deaf to God can only make a deaf image. Dead men can only create dead idols. And everyone who trusts in these powerless, dead things will be just like what they worship—powerless and dead!
