Isaiah 44:11-13
New Living Translation
11 All who worship idols will be disgraced
along with all these craftsmen—mere humans—
who claim they can make a god.
They may all stand together,
but they will stand in terror and shame.
12 The blacksmith stands at his forge to make a sharp tool,
pounding and shaping it with all his might.
His work makes him hungry and weak.
It makes him thirsty and faint.
13 Then the wood-carver measures a block of wood
and draws a pattern on it.
He works with chisel and plane
and carves it into a human figure.
He gives it human beauty
and puts it in a little shrine.
Isaiah 44:11-13
New International Version
11 People who do that will be put to shame;(A)
such craftsmen are only human beings.
Let them all come together and take their stand;
they will be brought down to terror and shame.(B)
12 The blacksmith(C) takes a tool
and works with it in the coals;
he shapes an idol with hammers,
he forges it with the might of his arm.(D)
He gets hungry and loses his strength;
he drinks no water and grows faint.(E)
13 The carpenter(F) measures with a line
and makes an outline with a marker;
he roughs it out with chisels
and marks it with compasses.
He shapes it in human form,(G)
human form in all its glory,
that it may dwell in a shrine.(H)
