Isaiah 40:18-20 NIV

[18] With whom, then, will you compare God? To what image will you liken him? [19] As for an idol, a metalworker casts it, and a goldsmith overlays it with gold and fashions silver chains for it. [20] A person too poor to present such an offering selects wood that will not rot; they look for a skilled worker to set up an idol that will not topple.
