World English Bible Public Domain
They are like a palm tree, of turned work, and don't speak: they must be carried, because they can't go. Don't be afraid of them; for they can't do evil, neither is it in them to do good."
-
King James Version Public Domain
They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.

They like scarecrows of a cucumber field, and they do not speak, carrying, they are carried because they do not walk. Do not be afraid of them, for they will not do harm, and also there is not good with them.”
