Psalms 135:17 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.

Neither is there any breath in their mouths. So far are they from speaking, that they have not even the breath in their mouths which dumb snips have. This verse varies from the corresponding one in Psalms 115:7, which shows how independent was the inspiration of the author of this psalm, even where he used his predecessor's materials.
