Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:

12 וְנָתַ֣ן אַרְצָ֣ם נַחֲלָ֑ה נַ֝חֲלָ֗ה לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֥ל עַמֹּֽו׃

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

They that make them are like to them: so is every one that trusts in them.
