Isaiah 44:17-19

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁷ Then from what is left he makes a god to serve as his idol. He bows down to it. He worships it, and he prays to it, “Save me, because you are my god.”

¹⁸ They are ignorant. They do not understand, because their eyes are plastered shut,^[a] and they cannot see. Their hearts are unable to gain insight. ¹⁹ A person does not take this to heart, so he has no knowledge or understanding to say, “Half of it I burn in the fire, and I bake bread on its coals. I roast meat, and I eat. Should I make the rest of it into a disgusting idol? Should I bow down to a piece of wood?”
