Isaiah 44:18-20

English Standard Version

¹⁸ They know not, nor do they discern, for he has shut their eyes, so that they cannot see, and their hearts, so that they cannot understand. ¹⁹ No one considers, nor is there knowledge or discernment to say, “Half of it I burned in the fire; I also baked bread on its coals; I roasted meat and have eaten. And shall I make the rest of it an ^(A)abomination? Shall I fall down before a block of wood?” ^20 (B)He feeds on ^(C)ashes; a deluded heart has led him astray, and he cannot deliver himself or say, “Is there not ^(D)a lie in my right hand?”
