Isaias

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

8 Shudder not, and fear not: have I not caused thee to hear, from that time, and told it? and ye are my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? and there is no Rock: I know not (any).

9 They that form a graven image are all of them waste; and their desirable things shall not profit; and their witnesses, they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.

10 Who hath formed a god, and molten a graven, image, to no profit?

11 Behold, all his company shall be ashamed; and the craftsmen, they are of men; they shall all be gathered together, they shall stand up; they shall fear, they shall be ashamed together.
