Simulacra Gentium argentum et aurum, * opera manuum hominum.
(The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold: the work of the hands of men.)
Os habent, et non loquentur: * oculos habent, et non videbunt.
(They have mouths and speak not: they have eyes and see not.)
Aures habent, et non audient: * nares habent, et non odorabunt.
(They have ears and hear not: they have noses and smell not.)
Manus habent, et non palpabunt: pedes habent, et non ambulabunt: * non clamabunt in gutture suo.
(They have hands and feel not: they have feet and walk not, neither shall they cry out through their throats.)
Similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea: * et omnes qui confidunt in eis.
(Let them that make them become like unto them: and such as trust in them.)
