Isaiah 44:19-21
Modern English Version
19 No one considers in his heart,
nor is there knowledge nor understanding to say,
“I have burned part of it in the fire;
I also have baked bread on the coals;
I have roasted meat and eaten it;
and shall I make the rest into an abomination?
Shall I fall down to a block of wood?”
20 He feeds on ashes; a deceived heart has turned him aside
so that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say,
“Is there not a lie in my right hand?”
Israel Not Forgotten
21 Remember these things, O Jacob,
and Israel, for you are My servant;
I have formed you; you are My servant;
O Israel, you shall not be forgotten by Me.
Isaiah 44:19-21
New International Version
19 No one stops to think,
no one has the knowledge or understanding(A) to say,
“Half of it I used for fuel;(B)
I even baked bread over its coals,
I roasted meat and I ate.
Shall I make a detestable(C) thing from what is left?
Shall I bow down to a block of wood?”(D)
20 Such a person feeds on ashes;(E) a deluded(F) heart misleads him;
he cannot save himself, or say,
“Is not this thing in my right hand a lie?(G)”
