Habakkuk 2:18-20

Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁸ What good is an idol, once its maker has shaped it,
a cast metal image and a teacher of lies,
that its maker puts his trust in it,
and goes on making non-gods, unable to talk?
¹⁹ Woe to him who tells a piece of wood, “Wake up!”
or a speechless stone, “Rouse yourself!”
Can this thing teach? Why, it’s covered with gold and silver,
without the slightest breath in it!
²⁰ But Adonai is in his holy temple;
let all the earth be silent before him.
