Psalm 115:4-8
New American Standard Bible
4 Their (A)idols are silver and gold,
The (B)work of human hands.
5 They have mouths, but they (C)cannot speak;
They have eyes, but they cannot see;
6 They have ears, but they cannot hear;
They have noses, but they cannot smell;
7 [a]They have hands, but they cannot feel;
[b]They have feet, but they cannot walk;
They cannot make a sound with their throat.
8 (D)Those who make them [c]will become like them,
Everyone who trusts in them.

7 So the (A)craftsman encourages the (B)smelter,
And he who smooths metal with the hammer encourages him who beats the anvil,

(C)So that it will not totter.

New International Version
Habakkuk 2:18-19
New American Standard Bible
18 “What (A)benefit is a carved image when its maker has carved it,
Or a cast metal image, a (B)teacher of falsehood?
For its maker (C)trusts in his own handiwork
When he fashions speechless idols.
19 Woe to him who (D)says to a piece of wood, ‘(E)Awake!’
To a mute stone, ‘Arise!’
That is your teacher?
Behold, it is overlaid with (F)gold and silver,
Yet there is (G)no breath at all inside it.
Habakkuk 2:18-19
New International Version
18 “Of what value(A) is an idol(B) carved by a craftsman?
Or an image(C) that teaches lies?
For the one who makes it trusts in his own creation;
he makes idols that cannot speak.(D)
19 Woe to him who says to wood, ‘Come to life!’
Or to lifeless stone, ‘Wake up!’(E)
Can it give guidance?
It is covered with gold and silver;(F)
there is no breath in it.”(G)
