Isaiah 44:17-19

New Century Version

¹⁷ But he makes a statue from the wood that is left and calls it his god.
    He bows down to it and worships it.
He prays to it and says,
    “You are my god. Save me!”
¹⁸ Those people don’t know what they are doing. They don’t understand!
    It is as if their eyes are covered so they can’t see.
    Their minds don’t understand.
¹⁹ They have not thought about these things;
    they don’t understand.
They have never thought to themselves,
    “I burned half of the wood in the fire
    and used the hot coals to bake my bread.
    I cooked and ate my meat.
And I used the wood that was left to make this hateful thing.
    I am worshiping a block of wood!”
