Isaiah 44:16-18

Common English Bible

¹⁶ Half of it he burns in the fire;
    on that half he roasts and eats meat, and he is satisfied.
He warms himself and says,
    “Ah, I’m warm, watching the fire!”
¹⁷ And the rest of it he makes into a god,
    into his idol,
    and he bows down, worships, and prays to it, saying, “Save me, for you are my god!”
¹⁸ They don’t know or comprehend,
    for their eyes can’t see
    and their minds can’t comprehend.
