TRUST Psalm 135:15-18

The idols of the nations are silver and gold, made by human hands. They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see. They have ears, but cannot hear, nor is there breath in their mouths. Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.

The idols of the nations are silver and gold 
Psalm 96:5  For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the LORD made the heavens.
Revelation 9:20  The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood--idols that cannot see or hear or walk.

made by human hands

Jeremiah 10:5  "Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field, their idols cannot speak; they must be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them; they can do no harm nor can they do any good."

They have mouths, but cannot speak 
1 Kings 18:26  So they took the bull given them and prepared it. Then they called on the name of Baal from morning till noon. "Baal, answer us!" they shouted. But there was no response; no one answered. And they danced around the altar they had made.

They have ears, but cannot hear, nor is there breath in their mouths 
Jeremiah 10:14  Everyone is senseless and without knowledge; every goldsmith is shamed by his idols. The images he makes are a fraud; they have no breath in them.
