Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

13 The craftsman in wood stretcheth out a line, he marketh it with a pencil; he shapeth it with planes, and marketh it out with the compass; and maketh it like the figure of a man, like the beauty of mankind: to dwell in a house.

14 He will hew him down cedars, and taketh ilex and oak, and strengtheneth for himself (one) among the trees of the forest: he planteth a pine, and the rain maketh it great.

15 And it shall be for man for burning: and he taketh of them, and warmeth himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he fashioneth a god, and boweth himself; he maketh it a grav image, and falleth down thereto.

16 He burneth half thereof in the fire: with half thereof he eateth flesh: he roasteth roast, and is satisfied; yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen fire:

17 And the remainder thereof he maketh to be a god, to be his (graven) image 3 he falleth down unto it, and boweth himself, and prayeth unto it, saith, Deliver me 3 for thou (art) my god.
