Isaiah 44:17-19

Living Bible

¹⁷ and with what’s left he makes his god: a carved idol! He falls down before it and worships it and prays to it. “Deliver me,” he says. “You are my god!”

¹⁸ Such stupidity and ignorance! God has shut their eyes so that they cannot see and closed their minds from understanding. ¹⁹ The man never stops to think or figure out, “Why, it’s just a block of wood! I’ve burned it for heat and used it to bake my bread and roast my meat. How can the rest of it be a god? Should I fall down before a chunk of wood?”
