Isaiah 44:18-20
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
18 They do not know or understand, for their eyes God has let become besmeared so that they cannot see, and their minds as well so that they cannot understand.
19 And no one considers in his mind, nor has he knowledge and understanding [enough] to say [to himself], I have burned part of this log in the fire, and also I have baked bread on its coals and have roasted meat and eaten it. And shall I make the remainder of it into an abomination [the very essence of what is disgusting, detestable, and shamefully vile in the eyes of a jealous God]? Shall I fall down and worship the stock of a tree [a block of wood without consciousness or life]?
20 That kind of man feeds on ashes [and finds his satisfaction in ashes]! A deluded mind has led him astray, so that he cannot release and save himself, or ask, Is not [this thing I am holding] in my right hand a lie?

New International Version
Isaiah 44:18-20
New International Version
18 They know nothing, they understand(A) nothing;
their eyes(B) are plastered over so they cannot see,
and their minds closed so they cannot understand.
19 No one stops to think,
no one has the knowledge or understanding(C) to say,
“Half of it I used for fuel;(D)
I even baked bread over its coals,
I roasted meat and I ate.
Shall I make a detestable(E) thing from what is left?
Shall I bow down to a block of wood?”(F)
20 Such a person feeds on ashes;(G) a deluded(H) heart misleads him;
he cannot save himself, or say,
“Is not this thing in my right hand a lie?(I)”
