Isaiah 44:12-15

12The smithmakethan axeH1270, and worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammersH4717, and worketh it with his strong armH2220: yea, he is hungryH7456, and his strengthH2220 faileth; he drinketh no waterH4325, and is faint. 13The carpenter stretcheth out a line; he marketh it out with a pencil; he shapeth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compasses, and shapeth it after the figure of a manH376, according to the beautyH8597 of a manH376, to dwellH3427 in a houseH1004. 14He heweth him downH3772 cedarsH730, and taketh the holm-tree and the oakH437, and strengtheneth for himself one among the treesH6086 of the forestH3293: he planteth a fir-tree, and the rainH1653 doth nourish it. 15Then shall it beH1961 for a manH120 to burnH1197; and he taketh thereof, and warmeth himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh breadH3899: yea, he maketh a godH410, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven imageH6459, and falleth downH7812 thereto.
