Isaiah 44:19-21

Expanded Bible

¹⁹ ·They have not thought about these things [No one considers];
    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 [or Should I use what…?] was left to make this ·hateful [abominable; detestable] thing.
    ·I am worshiping [or Should I bow down to…?] a block of wood!”
²⁰ He ·doesn’t know what he is doing [^Lfeeds on ashes; or eats on a pile of ashes];
    his ·confused mind [deluded/deceived heart] leads him ·the wrong way [astray].
He cannot ·save [rescue; ^Tdeliver] himself
    or say, “·This statue I am holding is a false god [^LIs there not a lie in my right hand?].”

²¹ “·People of Jacob [^LJacob], remember these things!
    ·People of Israel [^LIsrael], remember you are my servants.
I ·made [shaped; formed] you, and you are my servants.
    So Israel, I will not forget you.
