Isaiah 44:11-13

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹¹ Behold, all his companions will be ^(A)put to shame, for the craftsmen themselves are mere men. Let them all assemble themselves, let them stand up, let them tremble, let them together be put to shame.

¹² The ^(B)man shapes iron into a cutting tool and does his work over the coals, ^[a]fashioning it with hammers and working it with his strong arm. He also gets hungry and ^[b]his strength fails; he drinks no water and becomes weary. ^13 (C)Another shapes wood, he extends a measuring line; he outlines it with red chalk. He works it with planes and outlines it with a compass, and makes it like the form of a man, like the beauty of ^(D)man, so that it may sit in a ^(E)house.
