Isaiah 44:13-15

International Children’s Bible

¹³ Another workman uses a line and a compass
    to draw lines on the wood.
Then he uses his chisels to cut a statue from wood.
    He uses his calipers to measure the statue.
This way, the workman makes the wood look exactly like a man.
    And this statue of a man sits in the house.
¹⁴ A man cuts down cedar
    or gets cypress or oak trees.
Those trees grew by their own power in the forest.
    Or he plants a pine tree, and the rain makes it grow.
¹⁵ Then he burns the tree.
    He uses some of the wood for a fire to keep himself warm.
    He also starts a fire to bake his bread.
But he uses part of the wood to make a god. Then he worships it!
    He makes the idol and bows down to it!
