Isaiah 44:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ Half of the wood he burns in the fire. He uses it to cook his meat, and he eats plenty of food. He makes himself warm and he says, ‘Good! Now I am warm as I look at the fire.’ ¹⁷ He uses the rest of the wood to make an idol to be his god. He bends down in front of it and he worships it. He prays to it and he says, ‘Save me, because you are my god!’

¹⁸ People like that are stupid. They do not understand anything. They cannot see the truth, as if they are blind. Their minds cannot think properly.
