Isaiah 40:20
Thomson 1808
for the carpenter chooseth a sound piece of timber and will inquire wisely, how he may place his image that it may not be moved.

For the artificer chooses out a wood that will not rot, and will wisely enquire how he shall set up his image, and that so that it should not be moved.
Greek · Brenton
Ξύλον γὰρ ἄσηπτον ἐκλέγεται τέκτων, καὶ σοφῶς ζητήσει πῶς στήσει εἰκόνα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἵνα μὴ σαλεύηται.
