New American Standard Bible 1995
Habakkuk 2:18-19
18“What 1profit is the 2idol when its maker has carved it, Or 3an image, a 4teacher of falsehood? For its maker 5trusts in his own handiwork When he fashions speechless idols.19Woe to him who 6says to a piece of wood, ‘7Awake!’ To a mute stone, ‘Arise!’ And that is your teacher? Behold, it is overlaid with 8gold and silver, And there is 9no breath at all inside it.
