NASB
"As for the idol, a craftsman casts it, A goldsmith plates it with gold, And a silversmith fashions chains of silver."
— Isaiah 40:19, NASB
“The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains.”
“The image, a workman hath cast it, and the goldsmith overlayeth it with gold, and casteth for it silver chains. ”
“A workman has cast an image, and the goldsmith overlays it with gold, and casts silver chains for it.”
“A craftsman casts an idol; a metalsmith overlays it with gold and forges silver chains for it.”
“Hath the workman cast a graven statue? or hath the goldsmith formed it with gold, or the silversmith with plates of silver?”
“The workman makes an image, and the gold-worker puts gold plates over it, and makes silver bands for it.”
“The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains.”
Even Lebanon is not enough to burn, Nor its beasts enough for a burnt offering.
All the nations are as nothing before Him, They are regarded by Him as less than nothing and meaningless.
To whom then will you liken God? Or what likeness will you compare with Him?
As for the idol, a craftsman casts it, A goldsmith plates it with gold, And a silversmith fashions chains of silver.
He who is too impoverished for such an offering Selects a tree that does not rot; He seeks out for himself a skillful craftsman To prepare an idol that will not totter.
Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been declared to you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.
