Isaiah 44:15-17
Complete Jewish Bible
Isaiah 44:15-17
Complete Jewish Bible
15 In time, when it’s ready for use as fuel,
he takes some of it to keep himself warm
and burns some more to bake bread.
Then he makes a god and worships it,
carves it into an idol and falls down before it.
16 So half of it he burns in the fire;
with that half he roasts meat and eats his fill;
he warms himself; says, “It feels so good,
getting warm while watching the flames!”
17 With the rest of the log he fashions a god,
a carved image, then falls down before it;
he worships it and prays to it.
“Save me,” he says, “for you are my god!”

Isaiah 44:15-17
New International Version
15 It is used as fuel(A) for burning;
some of it he takes and warms himself,
he kindles a fire and bakes bread.
But he also fashions a god and worships(B) it;
he makes an idol and bows(C) down to it.
16 Half of the wood he burns in the fire;
over it he prepares his meal,
he roasts his meat and eats his fill.
He also warms himself and says,
“Ah! I am warm; I see the fire.(D)”
17 From the rest he makes a god, his idol;
he bows down to it and worships.(E)
He prays(F) to it and says,
“Save(G) me! You are my god!”
