Isaiah 44:9-17
9They that form a graven imageH6459 are all of them vanity, and their delectable things are of no profitH3276; and they are their own witnessesH5707: they seeH7200 not, nor knowH3045; — that they may be ashamedH954.
10Who hath formedH3335 a 1godH410, or molten a graven imageH6459 that is profitable for nothing?
11Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamedH954; and the workmen are but menH120. Let them all be gatheredH6908 togetherH3162, let them standH5975 up: they shall fearH6342, they shall be ashamedH954 togetherH3162.
12The iron-smith [hath] a chisel, and he worketh in the coals, and he fashioneth it with hammersH4717, and worketh it with his strong armH2220; — but he is hungryH7456, and his strengthH2220 faileth; he hath not drunkH8354 waterH4325, and he is faint.
13The worker in woodH6086 stretcheth out a line; he marketh it out with red chalk; he formeth it with sharp tools, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a manH376, according to the beautyH8597 of manH376: that it may remainH3427 in the houseH1004.
14When he heweth him downH3772 cedarsH730, he taketh also a holm-oak and a terebinth — he chooseth for himself among the treesH6086 of the forestH3293: he planteth a pine, and the rainH1653 maketh [it] growH1431.
15And it shall beH1961 for a manH120 to burnH1197, and he taketh thereof, and warmeth himself; he kindleth it alsoH637, and baketh breadH3899; he maketh alsoH637 a 2godH410, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven imageH6459, and falleth downH7812 thereto.
16He burneth part thereof in the fireH784; with part thereof he eateth fleshH1320, he roasteth roastH6748, and is satisfiedH7646; yea, he is warmH2552, and saith, AhaH1889, I am become warmH2552, I have seenH7200 the fireH784.
17And with the remainder thereof he maketh a 3godH410, his graven imageH6459; he falleth downH7812 unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, DeliverH5337 me, for thou art my 4godH410.
