Habakkuk 2:18
| Hebrew | |
| ESV |
“What profit is an idol when its maker has shaped it, a metal image, a teacher of lies? For its maker trusts in his own creation when he makes speechless idols!
|
| NIV |
“Of what value is an idol, since a man has carved it? Or an image that teaches lies? For he who makes it trusts in his own creation; he makes idols that cannot speak.
|
| NLT |
“What good is an idol carved by man, or a cast image that deceives you? How foolish to trust in your own creation– a god that can't even talk!
