Isaiah 44:11-13

Tree of Life Version

¹¹ Behold, all his friends will be ashamed,
for the craftsmen are only human.
Let them all assemble.
Let them stand up.
Let them dread.
Let them be put to shame together.
¹² The blacksmith takes a tool
and works with it over the coals,
    fashioning it with hammers
    and working it with his strong arm.
Yet when he is hungry, his strength fails.
When he drinks no water, he gets tired.
¹³ A carpenter stretches out a line;
he marks it with a pencil;
he shapes it with planes;
he marks it with a compass;
he shapes it like the figure of a man
—like the beauty of a man—
so that it may sit in a shrine.
