Have ye not¹ known?ª° have ye not¹ heard?ª° hath it not¹ been toldª° you from the beginning?ª¹ have ye not¹ understoodª° from the foundationsª¹ of the earth?ª" {Isa 40:19-21} + "So the carpenterª encouragedª°¹ the goldsmith,ª° [and] he that smoothethª° [with] the hammerª¹ him that smoteª° the anvil,ª saying,ª° It¹ [is] readyª for the sodering:ª and he fastenedª° it with nails,ª [that] it should not¹ be moved.ª°" {Isa 41:7} + "They that makeª° a graven imageª [are] all¹ of them vanity;ª and their delectable thingsª° shall not¹ profit;ª° and they¹ [are] their own witnesses;ª they seeª° not,¹ nor¹ know;ª° that¹ they may be ashamed.ª° ... Who¹ hath formedª° a god,ª or moltenª° a graven imageª [that] is profitableª° for nothing?ª" {Isa 44:9-10} + "And the residueª thereof he makethª° a god,ª [even] his graven image:ª he falleth downª° unto it, and worshippethª° [it], and prayethª° unto¹ it, and saith,ª° Deliverª° me; for¹ thou¹ [art] my god.ª" {Isa 44:17} + "Their idolsª [are] silverª and gold,ª the workª of men'sª hands.ª ...
