You cut down the forests of Lebanon. Now you will be cut down. You destroyed the wild animals, so now their terror will be yours. You committed murder throughout the countryside and filled the towns with violence.“ What good is an idol carved by 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.”

Psalms 74:3-11
Walk through the awful ruins of the city; see how the enemy has destroyed your sanctuary.There your enemies shouted their victorious battle cries; there they set up their battle standards.They swung their axes like woodcutters in a forest.With axes and picks, they smashed the carved paneling.They burned your sanctuary to the ground. They defiled the place that bears your name.Then they thought,“ Let’s destroy everything!” So they burned down all the places where God was worshiped.We no longer see your miraculous signs. All the prophets are gone, and no one can tell us when it will end.How long, O God, will you allow our enemies to insult you? Will you let them dishonor your name forever?Why do you hold back your strong right hand? Unleash your powerful fist and destroy them.
