Isaiah 40:19
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
To an idol that a craftsman casts and a metalworker overlays with gold and fits with silver chains?
In context
17 All the nations are as nothing before Him; He regards them as nothingness and emptiness.
18 To whom will you liken God? To what image will you compare Him?
19 To an idol that a craftsman casts and a metalworker overlays with gold and fits with silver chains?
20 To one bereft of an offering who chooses wood that will not rot, who seeks a skilled craftsman to set up an idol that will not topple?
21 Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been declared to you from the beginning? Have you not understood since the foundation of the earth?
