16 He burns half of it in the fire;
With this half he eats meat;
He roasts a roast, and is satisfied.
He even warms himself and says,
“Ah! I am warm,
I have seen the fire.”
17 And the rest of it he makes into a god,
His carved image.
He falls down before it and worships it,
Prays to it and says,
“Deliver me, for you are my god!”

18 (A)They do not know nor understand;
For (B)He has [a]shut their eyes, so that they cannot see,
And their hearts, so that they cannot (C)understand.
