Habakkuk 2:18 (CSB)

after its craftsman carves it?

For the one who crafts its shape trusts in it
and makes worthless idols that cannot speak.
 
Habakkuk 2:19 (CSB)

or to mute stone: Come alive!
Can it teach?
Look! It may be plated with gold and silver,
yet there is no breath in it at all.

and the fields yield no food;
though the flock is cut off from the fold
and there is no herd in the stalls,
