Isaiah 40:19-21

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁹ No, but some people make statues from rock or wood,
    and they call them gods.
One worker makes a statue.
    Then another worker covers it with gold and makes silver chains for it.
²⁰ For the base he chooses special wood,
    a kind of wood that will not rot.
Then he finds a good wood worker,
    and the worker makes a “god” that will not fall over.
²¹ Surely you know the truth, don’t you?
    Surely you have heard.
    Surely someone told you long ago.
    Surely you understand who made the earth.
