• Isaiah 41:7
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

    •  7 So the craftsman strengthens the metalworker;+

      The one who flattens with the forge hammer

      Strengthens the one hammering at the anvil.

      He says about the soldering: “It is good.”

      Then it is fastened with nails so that it will not topple over.

  • Isaiah 46:6, 7
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

    •  6 There are those who lavish gold from their purse;

      They weigh out the silver on the scale.

      They hire a metalworker, and he makes it into a god.+

      Then they prostrate themselves, yes, they worship it.*+

       7 They lift it to their shoulders;+

      They carry it and put it in its place, and it just stands there.

      It does not move from its place.+

      They cry out to it, but it does not answer;

      It cannot rescue anyone from distress.+
