Midrash sa Isaias 54:16: Shemot Rabbah

הן [הִנֵּ֤ה] אָֽנֹכִי֙ בָּרָ֣אתִי חָרָ֔שׁ נֹפֵ֙חַ֙ בְּאֵ֣שׁ פֶּחָ֔ם וּמוֹצִ֥יא כְלִ֖י לְמַעֲשֵׂ֑הוּ וְאָנֹכִ֛י בָּרָ֥אתִי מַשְׁחִ֖ית לְחַבֵּֽל׃

Narito, Ako ang lumikha sa panday na humihihip sa apoy ng mga baga at naglalabas ng sandata para sa kanyang gawain; at Ako ang lumikha sa maninira upang magwasak.

Shemot Rabbah

Another matter: “See, the Lord has called by name” – that is what is written: “Behold I created the smith” (Isaiah 54:16) – this is Betzalel. “Who fans the coal flame” (Isaiah 54:16) – Israel sinned with fire, as it is stated: “I cast it in the fire, and this calf emerged” (Exodus 32:24); Betzalel came and healed the wound. This is analogous to a doctor’s apprentice who placed a bandage on a certain wound and it healed, and they were lauding him. His mentor said to them: ‘Laud me, for I taught him.’ So too, everyone was saying that Betzalel with his wisdom and his understanding crafted the Tabernacle. The Holy One blessed be He said: It is I who created him and taught him, as it is stated: “Behold I created the smith.” That is why Moses said: “See, the Lord has called by name.”
