Isa.40.19

The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains.

Isa.40.19

Some no-god idol? Ridiculous! It's made in a workshop, cast in bronze, Given a thin veneer of gold, and draped with silver filigree.

Isa.40.19

As for an idol, a craftsman casts it, and a goldsmith overlays it with gold and fashions silver chains for it.

Isa.40.19

The workman molds an image, The goldsmith overspreads it with gold, And the silversmith casts silver chains.

Isa.40.19

Can he be compared to an idol formed in a mold, overlaid with gold, and decorated with silver chains?
