Isaiah 44:11-13

International Children’s Bible

¹² One workman uses tools to heat iron.
    He works over hot coals.
He uses his hammer to beat the metal and make a statue.
    He uses his powerful arms.
But when he becomes hungry, he loses his power.
    If he does not drink water, he becomes tired.

¹³ Another workman uses a line and a compass
    to draw lines on the wood.
Then he uses his chisels to cut a statue from wood.
    He uses his calipers to measure the statue.
This way, the workman makes the wood look exactly like a man.
    And this statue of a man sits in the house.
