Isaiah 44:12-20

12The smithH1270H2796 with the tongsH4621 both workethH6466 in the coalsH6352, and fashionethH3335 it with hammersH4717, and workethH6466 it with the strengthH3581 of his armsH2220: yea, he is hungryH7457, and his strengthH3581 failethH369: he drinkethH8354 no waterH4325, and is faintH3286.1 13The carpenterH2796H6086 stretcheth outH5186 his ruleH6957; he marketh it outH8388 with a lineH8279; he fittethH6213 it with planesH4741, and he marketh it outH8388 with the compassH4230, and makethH6213 it after the figureH8403 of a manH376, according to the beautyH8597 of a manH120; that it may remainH3427 in the houseH1004. 14He heweth downH3772 cedarsH730 for himself and takethH3947 the cypressH8645 and the oakH437, which he strengthenethH553 for himself among the treesH6086 of the forestH3293: he plantethH5193 an ashH766, and the rainH1653 doth nourishH1431 it .2 15Then shall it be for a manH120 to burnH1197: for he will takeH3947 of it, and warmH2552 himself; indeed, he kindlethH5400 it, and bakethH644 breadH3899; yea, he makethH6466 a godH410, and worshippethH7812 it ; he makethH6213 it a graven imageH6459, and falleth downH5456 to it. 16He burnethH8313 partH2677 of it inH1119 the fireH784; with partH2677 of it he eatethH398 fleshH1320; he roastethH6740 meatH6748, and is satisfiedH7646: yea, he warmethH2552 himself, and saithH559, AhaH1889, I am warmH2552, I have seenH7200 the fireH217: 17And the restH7611 of it he makethH6213 a godH410, even his graven imageH6459: he falleth downH5456 to it, and worshippethH7812 it, and prayethH6419 to it, and saithH559, DeliverH5337 me; for thou art my godH410. 18They have not knownH3045 nor understoodH995: for he hath shutH2902 their eyesH5869, that they cannot seeH7200; and their heartsH3826, that they cannot understandH7919.3 19And none considerethH7725 in his heartH3820, neither is there knowledgeH1847 nor understandingH8394 to sayH559, I have burnedH8313 partH2677 of it inH1119 the fireH784; I have also bakedH644 breadH3899 upon its coalsH1513; I have roastedH6740 fleshH1320, and eatenH398 it : and shall I makeH6213 the restH3499 of it an abominationH8441? shall I fall downH5456 to the stockH944 of a treeH6086?45 20He feedethH7462 on ashesH665: a deceivedH2048 heartH3820 hath turned him asideH5186, that he cannot deliverH5337 his soulH5315, nor sayH559, Is there not a lieH8267 in my right handH3225?
