Isaiah 40:19-21

New Catholic Bible

¹⁹ Perhaps an idol that a craftsman casts
    and a goldsmith overlays with gold
    and for which he fashions silver chains?
²⁰ Or should mulberry wood be chosen,
    a wood that will not rot,
and then a skilled artisan be designated
    to fashion an idol that will not fall over?
²¹ Do you not know?
    Have you not heard?
Were you not told from the beginning?
    Have you not understood from the foundation of the earth?
