Isaiah 44:16-18

Lexham English Bible

¹⁶ He burns half of it in the fire;
    he eats meat over half of it;
    he roasts a roast and is satisfied.
Also he grows warm and says, “Ah!
    I am warm! I see the fire!”
¹⁷ And he makes the remainder of it into a god!
    He bows down to his idol,
and he bows in worship and prays to him,
    and he says, “Save me, for you are my god!”
¹⁸ They do not know,
    and they do not understand,
for their eyes are besmeared so that they cannot see,^[a]
    their minds^[b] so that they have no insight.^[c]
