⁵ They have mouths, but they do not speak;
    they have eyes, but they do not see.
⁶ They have ears, but they do not hear;
    they have noses, but they do not smell.
⁷ They have hands, but they do not feel;
    they have feet, but they do not walk;
    they make no sound in their throats.

⁷ The artisan encourages the goldsmith,
    and the one who smooths with the hammer encourages the one who strikes the anvil,
saying of the soldering, “It is good,”
    and they fasten it with nails so that it cannot be moved.^(A)
