Isaiah 40:19-21
Christian Standard Bible
19 An idol?—something that a smelter casts
and a metalworker plates with gold
and makes silver chains for?(A)
20 A poor person contributes wood for a pedestal
that will not rot.[a]
He looks for a skilled craftsman
to set up an idol that will not fall over.(B)
21 Do you not know?(C)
Have you not heard?
Has it not been declared to you
from the beginning?
Have you not considered
the foundations of the earth?(D)
