What does Isaiah 44:14 mean?

He cuts down cedars, or maybe a cypress or oak. He lets it grow strong among the trees of the forest, or he plants a pine and the rain makes it grow. Isaiah 44:14 - Modern Text Bible

(The wood for idols comes from ordinary trees, grown and tended by people, not from anything divine.)
