16. But you will become drunk with shame, not majesty.Now it is your turn to drink and expose your uncircumcised foreskin!The cup of wine in the Lord’s right hand is coming to you,and disgrace will replace your majestic glory!
17. For you will pay in full for your violent acts against Lebanon;terrifying judgment will come upon you because of the way you destroyed the wild animals living there.You have shed human bloodand committed violent acts against lands, cities, and those who live in them.
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 itand make such mute, worthless things?
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.
20. But the Lord is in his majestic palace.The whole earth is speechless in his presence!”
