Isaiah 44:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible

10 Who hath made a [a]god, or molten an image, that is [b]profitable for nothing?

11 Behold, all that are of the [c]fellowship thereof, shall be confounded: for the workmen themselves are men: let them all be gathered together, and [d]stand up, yet they shall fear, and be confounded together.

12 The smith taketh an instrument, and worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms, yea, he is [e]an hungered, and his strength faileth, he drinketh no water, and is faint.

Isaiah 44:10-12
New International Version

10 Who shapes a god and casts an idol,(A)
    which can profit nothing?(B)
11 People who do that will be put to shame;(C)
    such craftsmen are only human beings.
Let them all come together and take their stand;
    they will be brought down to terror and shame.(D)

12 The blacksmith(E) takes a tool
    and works with it in the coals;
he shapes an idol with hammers,
    he forges it with the might of his arm.(F)
He gets hungry and loses his strength;
    he drinks no water and grows faint.(G)
