Habakkuk 2:17-19

New Century Version

¹⁷ You hurt many people in Lebanon,
    but now you will be hurt.
You killed many animals there,
    and now you must be afraid
because of what you did
    to that land, those cities, and the people who lived in them.

¹⁸ “An idol does no good, because a human made it;
    it is only a statue that teaches lies.
The one who made it expects his own work to help him,
    but he makes idols that can’t even speak!
¹⁹ How terrible it will be for the one who says to a wooden statue, ‘Come to life!’
    How terrible it will be for the one who says to a silent stone, ‘Get up!’
It cannot tell you what to do.
    It is only a statue covered with gold and silver;
    there is no life in it.
