Text -- Habakkuk 2:18-20 (NET)
Strongs On/Off
Context
2:18 What good is an idol ? Why would a craftsman make it? What good is a metal image that gives misleading oracles ? Why would its creator place his trust in it and make such mute , worthless things ?
2:19 The one who says to wood , ‘Wake up !’ is as good as dead– he who says to speechless stone , ‘Awake !’ Can it give reliable guidance ? It is overlaid with gold and silver ; it has no life’s breath inside it.
2:20 But the Lord is in his majestic palace . The whole earth is speechless in his presence !”
