Do they then not see that it does not return reply to them of any word and nor possess any power to hurt or profit them?
Could they not see that it neither responded to them, nor possessed any power to harm them, or benefit them?
What! Did they not see that it did not speak a word to them in return, and for them it could own neither harm nor benefit
Could they not see that it returned no reply to them, nor controlled any harm or benefit for them
So do they not see/understand that it (does) not return to them a saying/words , and nor own/possess for them harm, and nor benefit/usefulness
Were they not able to see that the statue could neither communicate with them nor had the power to do something (good or bad) for them
So do they not see that it does not answer to any of their speech? And has no power to cause them any harm or benefit
Could they not see that it returned to them no answer, and had no power to do them either harm or good
Well, did they not see (even this much) that this (calf) could not answer them a word, nor had it any power to cause them any loss or profit
Could they not see that this (calf) made them no answer and could neither avoid harm to them nor do good (to any)
Did they not see that it could not return them a word (for answer), and that it had no power either to harm them or to do them good
