Their (A)idols are silver and gold,
The (B)work of man’s hands.
They have mouths, but they (C)do not speak;
They have eyes, but they do not see;
They have ears, but they do not hear;
They have noses, but they do not smell;
As for their hands, they do not feel;
As for their feet, they do not walk;
They do not make a sound with their throat.
(D)Those who make them [a]will become like them,
Everyone who trusts in them.

Or a molten image, a (B)teacher of [a]lies?
For its maker (C)trusts in his own making
When he fashions speechless idols.
19 Woe to him who (D)says to a piece of wood, ‘(E)Awake!’
To a mute stone, ‘Arise!’
And that is your teacher?
Behold, it is overlaid with (F)gold and silver,
And there is (G)no breath at all inside it.

  1. Habakkuk 2:18 Lit a lie

18 “Of what value(A) is an idol(B) carved by a craftsman?
    Or an image(C) that teaches lies?

    Or to lifeless stone, ‘Wake up!’(E)
Can it give guidance?
    It is covered with gold and silver;(F)
    there is no breath in it.”(G)
