Isaiah 44:16-18

Living Bible

¹⁶ Part of the tree he burns to roast his meat and to keep him warm and fed and well content, ¹⁷ and with what’s left he makes his god: a carved idol! He falls down before it and worships it and prays to it. “Deliver me,” he says. “You are my god!”

¹⁸ Such stupidity and ignorance! God has shut their eyes so that they cannot see and closed their minds from understanding.
