Isaiah 40:19KJV
Protestant Bible · KJV · Verse 19 of 31
"The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains."
In context
17All nations before him as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.
18To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?
19The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains.
20He that so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, shall not be moved.
21Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?
