Isaiah 40:20
Douay-Rheims
He hath chosen strong wood, and that will not rot: the skillful workman seeketh how he may set up an idol that may not be moved.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown
impoverished--literally, "sunk" in circumstances. no oblation--he who cannot afford to overlay his idol with gold and silver (Isa 40:19). tree . . . not rot--the cedar, cypress, oak, or ash (Isa 44:14). graven--of wood; not a molten one of metal. not be moved--that shall be durable.
