Habakkuk 2:17-19

Names of God Bible

¹⁸ “What benefit is there in a carved idol
    when its maker has carved it?
    What benefit is there in a molded statue, a teacher of lies,
        when its maker has molded it?
    The one who formed it trusts himself
        to make worthless idols that cannot speak.
¹⁹ ‘How horrible it will be for the one
    who says to a piece of wood, “Wake up!”
        and to a stone that cannot talk, “Get up!” ’
    Can that thing teach anyone?
        Just look at it!
            It’s covered with gold and silver,
                but there’s absolutely no life in it.”
