Psalms 135:16
They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
135:16. They have mouths. For their makers fashioned them like themselves. An opening is made where the mouth should be, and yet it is no mouth, for they eat not, they speak not. They cannot communicate with their worshipers; they are dumb as death. If they cannot even speak, they are not even so worthy of worship as our children at school. When our philosophical teachers deny that God has made any verbal revelation of himself they also confess that their god is dumb.
Eyes have they, but they see not. Who would adore a blind man—how can the heathen be so mad as to bow themselves before a blind image? The eyes of idols have frequently been very costly; diamonds have been used for that purpose; but of what avail is the expense, since they see nothing? The worshiper is certainly physically in advance of his god, and yet mentally he is on a level with it; for assuredly his foolish heart is darkened, or he would not so absurdly play the fool.
