Calling on gods that cannot answer

“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? Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, And there is no breath at all in the midst of it. But the Lord is in his holy temple: Let all the earth keep silence before him.” Habakkuk 2:18–20
