Isaiah 44:19-21

New Century Version

¹⁹ They have not thought about these things;
    they don’t understand.
They have never thought to themselves,
    “I burned half of the wood in the fire
    and used the hot coals to bake my bread.
    I cooked and ate my meat.
And I used the wood that was left to make this hateful thing.
    I am worshiping a block of wood!”
²⁰ He doesn’t know what he is doing;
    his confused mind leads him the wrong way.
He cannot save himself
    or say, “This statue I am holding is a false god.”

²¹ “People of Jacob, remember these things!
    People of Israel, remember you are my servants.
I made you, and you are my servants.
    So Israel, I will not forget you.
