Isaiah 44:12-14
Lexham English Bible
Isaiah 44:12-14
Lexham English Bible
12 The ironsmith[a] works in the coals with his tool
and forms it with hammers.
And he makes it with his strong arm;[b]
indeed, he becomes hungry, and he lacks[c] strength;
he does not drink water, and he is faint.
13 The woodworker[d] stretches out a line;
he makes an outline of it with a marker.
He makes it with a knife
and makes an outline of it with a compass.
He makes it like the image of a man,
like the beauty of a human, to dwell in a temple.[e]
14 Cutting down cedars for himself,
he chooses[f] a holm tree and an oak,
and he lets it grow strong for him among the trees of the forest.
He plants a cedar, and the rain makes it grow.
