New International Version (NIV)

19As for an idol, a metalworker casts it,

and a goldsmith overlays it with gold

and fashions silver chains for it.

19 As for the 40:19 Or carved imageidol, a craftsman casts it,

A goldsmith plates it with gold,

And a silversmith fashions chains of silver.

19 As for the idol, a craftsman casts it,

A goldsmith plates it with gold,

And a silversmith fashions chains of silver.

19 As for the cast image (idol), a metalworker casts it,

A goldsmith overlays it with gold

And a silversmith casts its silver chains.

19To an idol that a craftsman casts

and a metalworker overlays with gold

and fits with silver chains?

19Will you compare him with a statue of a god?

Anyone who works with metal can make a statue.

Then another worker covers it with gold

and makes silver chains for it.
