Isaiah 44:16-18
New English Translation
Isaiah 44:16-18
New English Translation
16 Half of it he burns in the fire—
over that half he cooks[a] meat;
he roasts a meal and fills himself.
Yes, he warms himself and says,
‘Ah! I am warm as I look at the fire.’
17 With the rest of it he makes a god, his idol;
he bows down to it and worships it.
He prays to it, saying,
‘Rescue me, for you are my god!’
18 They do not comprehend or understand,
for their eyes are blind and cannot see;
their minds do not discern.[b]
