Isaiah 40:18-20
181To whom then will you liken God? Or what likeness will you compare with Him?19As for the 23idol, a craftsman casts it, A goldsmith 4plates it with gold, And a silversmith fashions chains of silver.20He who is too impoverished for such an offering Selects a 5tree that does not rot; He seeks out for himself a skillful craftsman To 6prepare 7an idol that 8will not totter.
