Habakkuk 2:18-20
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.20But the 10Lord is in His holy temple. 11Let all the earth 12be silent before Him.”
