Habakkuk 2:18-20

International Children’s Bible

¹⁸ “An idol does no good, because a man made it.
    It is only a statue that teaches lies.
The person who made it expects his own work to help him.
    But it can’t even speak!
¹⁹ How terrible it will be for the nation that says to a wooden statue, ‘Come to life!’
    How terrible it will be when this nation says to a stone that cannot speak, ‘Get up!’
These things cannot tell them what to do.
    That idol is only a statue covered with gold and silver.
    There is no life in it.
²⁰ The Lord is in his Holy Temple.
    So all the earth should be silent in his presence.”
