Isaiah 40:20 He that is so impoverished that he has no oblation chooses a tree that will not rot… If an idol leant over or fell that was the very worst of omens; cf. the case of Dagon. (Prof. G. A. Smith, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: 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 moved. |
