16 στόμα ἔχουσιν καὶ οὐ λαλήσουσιν ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχουσιν καὶ οὐκ ὄψονται
They have mouths, but can't speak; they have eyes, but can't see.
17 ὦτα ἔχουσιν καὶ οὐκ ἐνωτισθήσονται ῥῖνας ἔχουσιν καὶ οὐκ ὀσφρανθήσονται χεῖρας ἔχουσιν καὶ οὐ ψηλαφήσουσιν πόδας ἔχουσιν καὶ οὐ περιπατήσουσιν οὐ φωνήσουσιν ἐν τῷ λάρυγγι αὐτῶν οὐδὲ γάρ ἐστιν πνεῦμα ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν
They have ears, but can't hear; they can't even breathe!
