to make an idol that will not fall over.

and nails it down so it won’t fall over.”

the craftsmen are mere humans.

Let them all assemble and take their stand!

They will panic and be put to shame.

and forges metal over the coals.

He forms it with hammers;

he drinks no water and gets tired.

54:16 Look, I create the craftsman,

who fans the coals into a fire

and forges a weapon.

I create the destroyer so he might devastate.
