Isaiah 44:17-19

Good News Translation

¹⁷ The rest of the wood he makes into an idol, and then he bows down and worships it. He prays to it and says, “You are my god—save me!”

¹⁸ Such people are too stupid to know what they are doing. They close their eyes and their minds to the truth. ¹⁹ The maker of idols hasn't the wit or the sense to say, “Some of the wood I burned up. I baked some bread on the coals, and I roasted meat and ate it. And the rest of the wood I made into an idol. Here I am bowing down to a block of wood!”
