• Habakkuk 2:18, 19
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

    • 18 Of what benefit is a carved image

      When its maker has carved it?

      Of what benefit is a metal statue* and a teacher of lies,

      Even though its maker trusts in it,

      Making worthless gods that are speechless?+

      19 Woe to the one who says to a piece of wood, “Awake!”

      Or to a speechless stone, “Wake up! Instruct us!”

      Look! It is overlaid in gold and silver,+

      And there is no breath at all within it.+
