Habakkuk 2:19-20

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁹ Look at them! They speak to a wooden statue and tell it, “Get up! Rescue me.” They talk to a stone that cannot speak and say, “Wake up!” Don’t you know those things cannot help you? That statue may be covered with gold and silver, but there is no life in it.

²⁰ But the Lord is in his holy temple, so the whole earth should be silent in his presence and show him respect.
