NASB | Habakkuk 2:18 ¶ "What profit is the idol when its maker has carved it, Or an image, a teacher of falsehood? For its maker trusts in his own handiwork When he fashions speechless idols. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Habakkuk 2:18 ¶ "What profit is the carved image when its maker has formed it? It is only a cast image, and a teacher of lies. For its maker trusts in his own creation [as his god] When he makes speechless idols. |
Subject: Worship of Idols |
Bible Note: "Let me ask: if it be so very absurd to worship the work of other men's hands, what must it be to worship the work of our own hands? Perhaps, you may say, 'God forbid that I should do so.' Nevertheless, let me tell you, that trust, confidence, reliance, and dependence, for salvation, are all acts and very solemn ones too, of divine worship: and upon whatsoever you depend, whether in whole or in part, for your acceptance with God, and for your justification in His sight, whatsoever you rely upon, and trust in, for the attainment of grace or glory; if it be anything short of God in Christ, you are an idolater to all intents and purposes." --Augustus Toplady |
