Wisdom 13:11

The Carpenter and Wooden Idols
11 A carpenter may cut down a suitable tree(A)
and skillfully scrape off all its bark,
And deftly plying his art
produce something fit for daily use,(B)
Isaiah 44:9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 [a]Those who fashion idols are all nothing;
their precious works are of no avail.
They are their witnesses:[b]
they see nothing, know nothing,
and so they are put to shame.(A)
