“One lacking such an offering chooses wood that will not rot. He seeks a skilled craftsman to set up an idol that will not topple.”
Isaiah 40:20 (BSB)
Context Reading
18To whom will you liken God? To what image will you compare Him? 19To an idol that a craftsman casts and a metalworker overlays with gold and fits with silver chains? 20One lacking such an offering chooses wood that will not rot. He seeks a skilled craftsman to set up an idol that will not topple. 21Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been declared to you from the beginning? Have you not understood since the foundation of the earth? 22He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth; its dwellers are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.
