What is this scripture talking about?

Idols and idolatry. It shows idols have no power to aid any worshiper who may call on the god the idol represents. A similar and more extensive passage can be found in Isaiah 44:14-20. Any who wants a good laugh about idolatry should read these verses in their own Bible.

Clearly, ANY type of idol is against God's Laws. This law was contained in the 10 Commandments, and is repeated throughout the Bible. Nothing man-made should be venerated.

Gods Who “Cannot Save”

Consider, for example, the use of images or symbols in worship. To those trusting in them or praying through them, idols appear to be saviors possessing superhuman powers that can reward people or deliver them from danger. But can they really save? Concerning such objects, the psalmist sang: “The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of the hands of earthling man. A mouth they have, but they can speak nothing; eyes they have, but they can see nothing; ears they have, but they can give ear to nothing. Also there exists no spirit in their mouth.” Indeed, they are gods who “cannot save.”—Psalm 135:15-17; Isaiah 45:20.

Granted, those making idols may credit the work of their hands with life and power. And those who worship idols place their trust in them. “They carry [an idol] upon the shoulder,” said the prophet Isaiah, “they bear it and deposit it in its place that it may stand still.” He added: “From its standing place it does not move away. One even cries out to it, but it does not answer; out of one’s distress it does not save one.” (Isaiah 46:7) The truth is that an idol remains lifeless no matter how fervent the belief of those trusting in it. Such carved images and molten statues are “valueless gods.”—Habakkuk 2:18.

Pagans and their idols. Looks like the Catholics have plenty of idolatry!

It is talking about PAGAN idols, looks like the Pope is endorsing them, too!
