The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house.

The verse 13 is found in chapter 44 of Isaiah. Isaiah ridicules idol-making by showing the contradiction of using part of a tree for cooking and another part to make a god. The craftsman ends up worshiping what he himself produced. Against this inability, Yahweh presents himself as Creator, Redeemer, and Lord of history who even uses Cyrus to fulfill his purpose.
