Isaiah 44:13-15 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

13. Some woodcarver measuresa piece of wood,then draws an outline.The idol is carefully carvedwith each detail exact.At last it looks like a personand is placed in a temple.

14. Cedar, cypress, oak,or any tree from the forestmay be chosen.Or even a pine tree plantedby the woodcarverand watered by the rain.

15. Some of the wood is usedto make a fire for heatingor for cooking.One piece is made into an idol,then the woodcarver bows downand worships it.
