Isaiah 40:19-21

Modern English Version

¹⁹ The workman melts a graven image,
    and the goldsmith spreads it over with gold,
    and casts silver chains.
²⁰ He who is too impoverished for such an offering
    chooses a tree that will not rot;
he seeks for himself a skillful workman
    to prepare a graven image that shall not totter.
