They have hands, but they handle not. They have feet, but they walk not, nor do they speak through their throat.

The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth he has given to the sons of men.

The dead do not praise Jehovah, nor any who go down into silence,

18 Ahinlah eihon tu le tonsot geija Pakai ithangvah theiju ahi. Pakai chu thangvah’in umhen!

but we will bless Jehovah from this time forth and for evermore. Praise ye Jehovah.
