What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 18 is found in chapter 2 of Habakkuk. The denunciation of idolatry shows the inability of images to respond, teach, or save. An idol may be covered with gold and silver, but it has no life. Habakkuk contrasts the powerless silence of the image with the living God who truly speaks.
