“Behold, all his fellows will be disappointed;and the workmen are mere men.Let them all be gathered together.Let them stand up.They will fear.They will be put to shame together.”
Isaiah 44:11 (WEB)
Context Reading
9Everyone who makes a carved image is vain.The things that they delight in will not profit.Their own witnesses don’t see, nor know, that they may be disappointed. 10Who has fashioned a god,or molds an image that is profitable for nothing? 11Behold, all his fellows will be disappointed;and the workmen are mere men.Let them all be gathered together.Let them stand up.They will fear.They will be put to shame together. 12The blacksmith takes an ax,works in the coals,fashions it with hammers,and works it with his strong arm.He is hungry,and his strength fails;he drinks no water,and is faint. 13The carpenter stretches out a line.He marks it out with a pencil.He shapes it with planes.He marks it out with compasses,and shapes it like the figure of a man,with the beauty of a man,to reside in a house.
