Habakkuk 2:18-20

Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

18“What benefit is a carved image when its maker has carved it,

Or a cast metal image, a teacher of falsehood?

For its maker trusts in his own handiwork

When he fashions speechless idols.

19“Woe to him who says to a piece of wood, ‘Awake!’

To a mute stone, ‘Arise!’

That is your teacher?

Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver,

Yet there is no breath at all inside it.

20“But the Lord is in His holy temple.

Let all the earth be silent before Him.”
