Habakkuk 2:18-20

New Catholic Bible

¹⁸ “Of what use is an idol
    after its maker has shaped it?
    It is only a presentation, a source of lies.
And why should its sculptor place his faith in it,
    a dumb idol that he has made?
¹⁹ Woe to anyone who says,
    ‘Wake up!’ to a block of wood,
    ‘Rouse yourself!’ to a lifeless stone.
Can such a thing offer guidance?
    It may be overlaid with gold and silver,
    but there is no breath of life within it.
²⁰ However, the Lord is in his holy temple.
    Let all the earth be silent before him.”
