Isaiah 44:15-17

Modern English Version

¹⁵ Then it shall be for a man to burn,
    for he will take some of it and warm himself;
    he kindles it and bakes bread;
he also makes a god and worships it;
    he makes it a graven image and bows down to it.
¹⁶ He burns half of it in the fire;
    over this half he eats meat;
    he roasts it and is satisfied.
Also he warms himself and says,
    “Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire.”
¹⁷ And the rest he makes into a god, even his carved image.
    He falls down to it, and worships it,
and prays to it, and says,
    “Deliver me, for you are my god.”
