Parallel
Isaiah 40:20
King James Version (1769 Blayney revision, with Apocrypha) · Berean Standard Bible
He that is so impoverished (note: Heb. I poor of oblation) that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved.
One lacking such an offering chooses wood that will not rot. He seeks a skilled craftsman to set up an idol that will not topple.
