2Let the nations not say, “Where, now, is their God?”

בלָ֭מָּה יֹאמְר֣וּ הַגּוֹיִ֑ם אַיֵּה־נָ֝֗א אֱלֹהֵיהֶֽם׃

8Those who fashion them, all who trust in them, shall become like them.

12Hashem is mindful of us. He will bless us; He will bless the house of Yisrael; He will bless the house of Aharon;
