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.
¡Ay del que dice al palo: 'Despiértate', y a la piedra muda: 'Levántate'! ¿Podrá esto enseñar? He aquí está cubierto de oro y plata, pero no hay espíritu alguno en su interior.
Es absurdo buscar vida y sabiduría en ídolos sin vida hechos de madera y piedra.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the 7th century BC, the prophet Habakkuk was delivering God's message to the people of Judah amid widespread injustice and the looming threat of Babylonian invasion. The Babylonians practiced idolatry, crafting statues from wood and stone, often overlaying them with gold and silver, and treating these lifeless objects as if they could provide wisdom and guidance. This verse specifically condemns such futile worship as part of a broader divine judgment on the nations.
