Isaiah 44:11-13
New International Version
Isaiah 44:11-13
New International Version
11 People who do that will be put to shame;(A)
such craftsmen are only human beings.
Let them all come together and take their stand;
they will be brought down to terror and shame.(B)
12 The blacksmith(C) takes a tool
and works with it in the coals;
he shapes an idol with hammers,
he forges it with the might of his arm.(D)
He gets hungry and loses his strength;
he drinks no water and grows faint.(E)
13 The carpenter(F) measures with a line
and makes an outline with a marker;
he roughs it out with chisels
and marks it with compasses.
He shapes it in human form,(G)
human form in all its glory,
that it may dwell in a shrine.(H)

King James Version
Isaiah 44:11-13
King James Version
11 Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together.
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: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint.
13 The carpenter 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.

Isaiah 44:11-13
New King James Version
Isaiah 44:11-13
New King James Version
11 Surely all his companions would be (A)ashamed;
And the workmen, they are mere men.
Let them all be gathered together,
Let them stand up;
Yet they shall fear,
They shall be ashamed together.
12 (B)The blacksmith with the tongs works one in the coals,
Fashions it with hammers,
And works it with the strength of his arms.
Even so, he is hungry, and his strength fails;
He drinks no water and is faint.
13 The craftsman stretches out his rule,
He marks one out with chalk;
He fashions it with a plane,
He marks it out with the compass,
And makes it like the figure of a man,
According to the beauty of a man, that it may remain in the house.
