20 A man too poor to present such an offering
selects wood that will not rot.
He looks for a skilled craftsman
to set up an idol that will not topple.

We have a phrase “live for eternity” that can become cliche. Its all over the Bible and it is in this passage. The only thing that counts is what will last forever. But we spend all this time bowing down to little things of gold that we think are so necessary or precious. These precious phrases clarify that only the desperately poor look for that which never rot or topple. He looks for the one skilled craftsman that can set up an idol that will never fall.
This passage is filled with the immensity and might of God. We sit on a little distant corner of the universe with our puny idols and are sometimes deceived into thinking this is it.
Live for eternity.
