who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.

they have ears, but they can’t hear; for there is no breath in their mouth.
כְּ֭מֹוהֶם יִהְי֣וּ עֹשֵׂיהֶ֑ם כֹּ֭ל אֲשֶׁר־בֹּטֵ֣חַ בָּהֶֽם׃ | 18 |
Let those who make them be made like to them; and all those who trust in them.
