Isaiah 44:13 meaning and explanation
The woodworker extends a measuring line; he marks it out with a stylus; he shapes it with chisels and outlines it with a compass. He fashions it in the likeness of man, like man in all his glory, that it may dwell in a shrine.
Isaiah 44:13, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
The LORD speaks through Isaiah, mocking idolatry for exiles in Babylon. This verse moves from the blacksmith to the woodworker, who measures the block, marks it with a stylus, carves it with chisels and outlines it with a compass, shaping it into a human figure, like man in all his glory, to stand in a shrine.
