Habakkuk 2:19-20

New American Standard Bible

¹⁹Woe to him who ^(A)says to a piece of wood, ‘^(B)Awake!’
To a mute stone, ‘Arise!’
That is your teacher?
Behold, it is overlaid with ^(C)gold and silver,
Yet there is ^(D)no breath at all inside it.
²⁰But the ^(E)Lord is in His holy temple.
^[a]Let all the earth ^(F)be silent before Him.”
