19 The craftsman casts an idol,*

The metalworker overlays it with gold,+

And he forges silver chains.

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.+

 5 To whom will you liken me or make me equal or compare me,+

So that we should resemble each other?+
