Isaiah 44:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
18 They have not known, nor understood: [a]for God hath shut their eyes that they cannot see, and their heart, that they cannot understand.
19 And none [b]considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burnt half of it, even in the fire, and have baked bread also upon the coals thereof: I have roasted flesh, and eaten it, and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I bow to the stock of a tree?
20 He feedeth [c]of ashes: a seduced heart hath deceived him, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?
