Contemporary English Version
Isaiah 40:18-20
Contemporary English Version
18 (A) Who compares with God?
Is anything like him?
19 Is an idol at all like God?
It is made of bronze
with a thin layer of gold,
and decorated with silver.
20 (B) Or special wood may be chosen[a]
because it doesn't rot—
then skilled hands
take care to make an idol
that won't fall on its face.
Footnotes
- 40.20 Or … chosen: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text. Two kinds of idols seem to be described: bronze idols covered with gold (verse 19) and wooden idols (verse 20).
