Isaiah 44:19-21

International Children’s Bible

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.
    I 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 hated thing.
    I am worshiping a block of wood!”
²⁰ He doesn’t know what he is doing.
    His confused mind leads him the wrong way.
He cannot save himself.
    He cannot say, “This statue I am holding is a false god.”

²¹ The Lord says, “People of Jacob, remember these things!
    People of Israel, remember you are my servants.
I made you. You are my servants.
    So Israel, I will not forget you.
