Habakkuk 2:18-20 Part 3 of 3

"What good is an idol carved by a man, or a cast image that deceives you? How foolish to trust in your own creation--a god that can't even talk! What sorrow awaits you who say to wooden idols, 'Wake up and save us!' To speechless stone images you say, 'Rise up and teach us!' Can an idol tell you what to do? They may be overlaid with gold and silver, but they are lifeless inside. But the LORD is in his holy Temple. Let all the earth be silent before him."

"But the LORD is in his holy Temple."

Psalm 11:4  But the LORD is in his holy Temple; the LORD still rules from heaven. He watches everyone closely, examining every person on earth. (see all chapter 11)

"Let all the earth be silent before him."
