Isaiah 44:12. The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms:
What irony! God-making, with hammers and bellows!
Isaiah 44:12. Yea, he is hungry,
This god-maker is hungry!
Isaiah 44:12. And his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint.
The god-maker is getting faint. There is a sarcasm about this description which ought to convince the most blind devotees of an idol.
