Habakkuk 2:17-19

International Standard Version

¹⁷ Indeed, the violence done to Lebanon will overtake you,
    and the destruction of the beasts will terrorize you—^[a]
because you shed human blood
    and did violence to^[b] the land, to the city, and to all who live in it.”

¹⁸ “Where is the benefit in owning^[c] a carved image,
    that motivates its maker to carve^[d] it?
It is only a cast image—
    a teacher that lies—
because the engraver entrusts himself to his carving,
    crafting speechless idols.
¹⁹ “Woe to the one who says to a tree, ‘Wake up!’
    or ‘Arise!’ to a speechless stone.
Idols^[e] like this can’t teach, can they?
    Look, even though it is overlaid with gold and silver,
        there’s no breath in it at all.”
