17 The violence you have done to Lebanon will overwhelm you,and your destruction of animals will terrify you.For you have shed human blood;you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them.
18 ‘Of what value is an idol carved by a craftsman?Or an image that teaches lies?For the one who makes it trusts in his own creation;he makes idols that cannot speak.
19 Woe to him who says to wood, “Come to life!”Or to lifeless stone, “Wake up!”Can it give guidance?It is covered with gold and silver;there is no breath in it.’
20 The Lord is in his holy temple;let all the earth be silent before him.
