Habakkuk 2:20

Read in context

Habakkuk 2:18–20 · Berean Standard Bible

18 What use is an idol, that a craftsman should carve it— or an image, a teacher of lies? For its maker trusts in his own creation; he makes idols that cannot speak.

19 Woe to him who says to wood, ‘Awake!’ or to silent stone, ‘Arise!’ Can it give guidance? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, yet there is no breath in it at all.”

20 But the LORD is in His holy temple; let all the earth be silent before Him.
