¹⁹ No one reflects,
no one has the perception or insight to say,
“I burned half of it in the fire,
I also baked bread on its coals,
I roasted meat and ate.
I will make something detestable^(A) with the rest of it,
and I will bow down to a block of wood.”

²⁷ say to a tree, “You are my father,”
and to a stone, “You gave birth to me.”
For they have turned their back to Me
and not their face,^(A)
yet in their time of disaster^(B) they beg,
“Rise up and save us!”
