17 For the violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you;
the destruction of the animals will terrify you—[a]
because of human bloodshed and violence to the earth,
to cities and all who live in them.(A)
18 What use is an idol
once its maker has shaped it—
a cast image, a teacher of lies?
For its maker trusts in what has been made,
though the product is only an idol that cannot speak!(B)
19 Alas for you who say to the wood, “Wake up!”
to silent stone, “Rouse yourself!”
Can it teach?
See, it is gold and silver plated,
and there is no breath in it at all.(C)
20 But the Lord is in his holy temple;
let all the earth keep silence before him!(D)

you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them.
18 “Of what value(D) is an idol(E) carved by a craftsman?
Or an image(F) that teaches lies?
For the one who makes it trusts in his own creation;
he makes idols that cannot speak.(G)
19 Woe to him who says to wood, ‘Come to life!’
Or to lifeless stone, ‘Wake up!’(H)
Can it give guidance?
It is covered with gold and silver;(I)
there is no breath in it.”(J)
