Isaiah 44:12-14

Isaiah 44:12-14

[12] The smith  with the tongs  both worketh  in the coals,  and fashioneth  it with hammers,  and worketh  it with the strength  of his arms:  and his strength  faileth:  he drinketh  no water,  and is faint.  [13] stretcheth out  his rule;  he marketh it out  with a line;  he fitteth  it with planes,  and he marketh it out  with the compass,  and maketh  it after the figure  of a man,  according to the beauty  of a man;  that it may remain  in the house.  [14] He heweth him down  cedars,  and taketh  the cypress  and the oak,  which he strengtheneth  for himself among the trees  of the forest:  he planteth  an ash,  and the rain  doth nourish  it.
