Isaiah 44:12-14

LEB(i) 12 The ironsmith* works in the coals with his tool and forms it with hammers. And he makes it with his strong arm;* indeed, he becomes hungry, and he lacks* strength; he does not drink water, and he is faint. 13 The woodworker* stretches out a line; he makes an outline of it with a marker. He makes it with a knife and makes an outline of it with a compass. He makes it like the image of a man, like the beauty of a human, to dwell in a temple.* 14 Cutting down cedars for himself, he chooses* a holm tree and an oak, and he lets it grow strong for him among the trees of the forest. He plants a cedar, and the rain makes it grow.
