Isaiah 40:19-21

Darby Translation

¹⁹ The workman casteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains [for it].

²⁰ He that is impoverished, so that he hath no offering, chooseth a tree that doth not rot; he seeketh unto him a skilled workman to prepare a graven image that shall not be moved.

²¹ —Do ye not know? Have ye not heard? Hath it not been told you from the beginning? Have ye not understood the foundation of the earth?
