Isaiah 44:12-14
12The 1man shapesH2796 ironH1270 into a cuttingH4621 toolH4621 and doesH6466 his workH6466 over the coalsH6352, 2fashioningH3335 it with hammersH4717 and workingH6466 it with his strongH3581 armH2220. He alsoH1571 getsH7456 hungryH7456 and 3his strengthH3581 failsH369; he drinksH8354 noH3808 waterH4325 and becomesH3286 wearyH3286.
134Another shapesH2796 woodH6086, he extendsH5186 a measuringH6957 lineH6957; he outlinesH8388 it with red chalkH8279. He worksH6213 it with planesH4741 and outlinesH8388 it with a compassH4230, and makesH6213 it like the formH8403 of a manH376, like the beautyH8597 of 5manH120, so that it may sitH3427 in a 6houseH1004.
14Surely he cutsH3772 cedarsH730 for himself, and takesH3947 a 7cypressH8645 or an oakH437 and 8raisesH553 it for himself among the treesH6086 of the forestH3293. He plantsH5193 a firH766, and the rainH1653 makesH1431 it growH1431.
