Isaiah 44:16-18
Modern English Version
16 He burns half of it in the fire;
over this half he eats meat;
he roasts it and is satisfied.
Also he warms himself and says,
“Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire.”
17 And the rest he makes into a god, even his carved image.
He falls down to it, and worships it,
and prays to it, and says,
“Deliver me, for you are my god.”
18 They have not known nor understood;
for He has shut their eyes so that they cannot see,
and their hearts so that they cannot understand.
Isaiah 44:16-18
New International Version
16 Half of the wood he burns in the fire;
over it he prepares his meal,
he roasts his meat and eats his fill.
He also warms himself and says,
“Ah! I am warm; I see the fire.(A)”
17 From the rest he makes a god, his idol;
he bows down to it and worships.(B)
He prays(C) to it and says,
“Save(D) me! You are my god!”
18 They know nothing, they understand(E) nothing;
their eyes(F) are plastered over so they cannot see,
and their minds closed so they cannot understand.
