Isaiah40:20
20. He that is so impoverished 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 removed .
That he can hardly procure Mony sufficient to buy the meanest Sacrifice for his God.
He is so mad upon his Idols, that he will one way or other find mony to procure the choicest materials, and the help of the best Artist to make his Idol.
Which after all this cost and art, cannot stir one step out of its place to give you any help.
