Isaiah 44:14-16
Common English Bible
14 He cuts down cedars for himself,
or chooses a cypress[a] or oak,
selecting from all the trees of the forest.
He plants a pine,[b] and the rain makes it grow.
15 It becomes suitable to burn for humans,
so he takes some of the wood and warms himself.
He kindles fire and bakes bread.
He fashions a god and worships it;
he makes an idol and bows down to it.
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!”
