CLV(i)
19 A carving? That which is made, or is cast by an artificer, and a refiner with gold is stamping it, and chains of silver he is refining, a likeness is he making it."
20 A provident one will choose a heave approach of wood that will not rot. He will seek for himself a wise artificer, to prepare a carving with no blemish."
21 Are you not knowing? Are you not hearing? Was it not told to you from the beginning? Do you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
22 Who is sitting over the circle of the earth, and its dwellers are as grasshoppers? Who is stretching out as a thin gauze the heavens, and bagging them out as a tent to dwell in?
23 Who is making chancellors to be nothing? The judges of the earth He makes as chaos.
24 Indeed, they wilt when planted; indeed, they wilt when sown; indeed, a root will wilt in the earth as their set-slip. And, moreover, a breeze blows on them, and they are drying. And a tempest, as straw, is bearing them away."
25 Then to whom will you liken Me, and whose equal will I be?saying is the Holy One."
26 Lift your eyes to the height and see; Who created all these? Who is bringing forth their host by number? He is calling to all of them by name, because of vast virility and resolute vigor, and not one of them is deranged."
27 Why are you saying, Jacob; and why are you speaking, Israel:"My way is concealed from Yahweh, and my judgment is passing from my Elohim"?
28 Do you not know? Should you not hear? The Elohim eonian is Yahweh, Creator of the ends of the earth. He is not fainting, nor is He wearying. And there is no investigating of His understanding."
29 He is giving vigor to the faint, and to those with no virility, their staunchness He is increasing."
30 And the youths will be faint and weary, and the choice men will stumble, yea stumble."
31 Yet those stretching toward Yahweh will vary their vigor, and they shall ascend on pinions as vultures. They shall run, and not be weary. They shall go, and not faint."
