Isaiah 40:19-31
New International Version
Isaiah 40:19-31
New International Version
19 As for an idol,(A) a metalworker casts it,
and a goldsmith(B) overlays it with gold(C)
and fashions silver chains for it.
20 A person too poor to present such an offering
selects wood(D) that will not rot;
they look for a skilled worker
to set up an idol(E) that will not topple.(F)
21 Do you not know?
Have you not heard?(G)
Has it not been told(H) you from the beginning?(I)
Have you not understood(J) since the earth was founded?(K)
22 He sits enthroned(L) above the circle of the earth,
and its people are like grasshoppers.(M)
He stretches out the heavens(N) like a canopy,(O)
and spreads them out like a tent(P) to live in.(Q)
23 He brings princes(R) to naught
and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing.(S)
24 No sooner are they planted,
no sooner are they sown,
no sooner do they take root(T) in the ground,
than he blows(U) on them and they wither,(V)
and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff.(W)
25 “To whom will you compare me?(X)
Or who is my equal?” says the Holy One.(Y)
26 Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens:(Z)
Who created(AA) all these?
He who brings out the starry host(AB) one by one
and calls forth each of them by name.
Because of his great power and mighty strength,(AC)
not one of them is missing.(AD)
27 Why do you complain, Jacob?
Why do you say, Israel,
“My way is hidden from the Lord;
my cause is disregarded by my God”?(AE)
28 Do you not know?
Have you not heard?(AF)
The Lord is the everlasting(AG) God,
the Creator(AH) of the ends of the earth.(AI)
He will not grow tired or weary,(AJ)
and his understanding no one can fathom.(AK)
29 He gives strength(AL) to the weary(AM)
and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men(AN) stumble and fall;(AO)
31 but those who hope(AP) in the Lord
will renew their strength.(AQ)
They will soar on wings like eagles;(AR)
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.(AS)
Isaiah 40:19-31
King James Version
Isaiah 40:19-31
King James Version
19 The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains.
20 He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved.
21 Have 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?
22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
23 That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.
24 Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.
25 To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.
26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.
27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God?
28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

4 But their idols are silver and gold,(A)
made by human hands.(B)
5 They have mouths, but cannot speak,(C)
eyes, but cannot see.
6 They have ears, but cannot hear,
noses, but cannot smell.
7 They have hands, but cannot feel,
feet, but cannot walk,

and so will all who trust in them.

You had the goblets from his temple brought to you, and you and your nobles, your wives(B) and your concubines drank wine from them. You praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand.(C) But you did not honor the God who holds in his hand your life(D) and all your ways.(E)
