17 You destroyed trees and animalson Mount Lebanon;you were ruthless to townsand people everywhere.Now you will be terrorized.
18 What is an idol worth?It's merely a false god.Why trust a speechless imagemade from wood or metalby human hands?
19 What can you learn from idolscovered with silver or gold?They can't even breathe.Pity anyone who says to an idolof wood or stone,“Get up and do something!”
20 Let all the world be silent—the Lord is presentin his holy temple.
