17. The violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you,and the destruction done to the animals will terrify youbecause of the slaughter and violence doneto lands, cities, and all their inhabitants.
18. “What benefit is there in a carved idolwhen its maker has carved it?What benefit is there in a molded statue, a teacher of lies,when its maker has molded it?The one who formed it trusts himselfto make worthless idols that cannot speak.
19. ‘How horrible it will be for the onewho says to a piece of wood, “Wake up!”and to a stone that cannot talk, “Get up!”’Can that thing teach ⌊anyone⌋?Just look at it!It’s covered with gold and silver,but there’s absolutely no life in it.”
20. The Lord is in his holy temple.All the earth should be silent in his presence.
