Isaiah 40:19-21

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁹ The workman melts an image, or the goldsmith beats it out in gold, or the silversmith in silver plates.

²⁰ Do not the poor choose a tree that will not rot for an oblation? He also seeks a cunning workman to prepare an image that shall not be shaken.

²¹ Know you nothing? Have you not heard it? Has it not been told to you from the beginning? Have you not understood it from the foundation of the Earth?
