Isaiah 44:16-18

Modern English Version

¹⁶ He burns half of it in the fire;
    over this half he eats meat;
    he roasts it and is satisfied.
Also he warms himself and says,
    “Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire.”
¹⁷ And the rest he makes into a god, even his carved image.
    He falls down to it, and worships it,
and prays to it, and says,
    “Deliver me, for you are my god.”
¹⁸ They have not known nor understood;
    for He has shut their eyes so that they cannot see,
    and their hearts so that they cannot understand.
