Isaiah 44:14-16

Lexham English Bible

¹⁴ Cutting down cedars for himself,
    he chooses^[a] a holm tree and an oak,
and he lets it grow strong for him among the trees of the forest.
    He plants a cedar, and the rain makes it grow.
¹⁵ And it becomes fuel for a human,^[b]
    and he takes some of it and grows warm;
    also, he kindles a fire and bakes bread.
Also, he makes a god and bows in worship;
    he makes himself an image and bows down to it!
¹⁶ He burns half of it in the fire;
    he eats meat over half of it;
    he roasts a roast and is satisfied.
Also he grows warm and says, “Ah!
    I am warm! I see the fire!”
