Habakkuk 2,20

God's holinessStillness and meditationPraise and worshipFear

18 Hva verdi har et utskåret bilde når dets skaper har skåret det,
Et støpt metallbilde, en lærer av falskhet?
For dets skaper stoler på sitt eget håndverk
Når han former stumme avguder.

19 Ve ham som sier til et stykke tre, ‘Våkn opp!’
Til en stum stein, ‘Reis deg!’
Kan det være din lærer?
Se, det er overtrukket med gull og sølv,
Men det er ingen ånd i det i det hele tatt.

Men Herren bor i sitt hellige tempel.
La hele jorden være stille for Ham.”

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
