  • Isaiah 40:20
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
    • 20 He chooses a tree for his contribution,+

      A tree that will not rot.

      He searches for a skilled craftsman

      To prepare a carved image that will not topple over.+

  • Isaiah 44:14, 15
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
    • 14 There is one whose work is to cut down cedars.

      He selects a certain type of tree, an oak,

      And he lets it grow strong among the trees of the forest.+

      He plants a laurel tree, and the rain makes it grow.

      15 Then it becomes fuel for a man to make fires.

      He takes part of it to warm himself;

      He builds a fire and bakes bread.

      But he also makes a god and worships it.

      He makes it into a carved image, and he bows down before it.+

  • Isaiah 45:20
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
    • 20 Gather together and come.

      Approach together, you escapees from the nations.+

      They know nothing, those who carry around carved images

      And pray to a god that cannot save them.+

  • Habakkuk 2:18
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
    • 18 Of what benefit is a carved image

      When its maker has carved it?

      Of what benefit is a metal statue* and a teacher of lies,

      Even though its maker trusts in it,

      Making worthless gods that are speechless?+
