    over it he prepares his meal,
    he roasts his meat and eats his fill.
He also warms himself and says,
    “Ah! I am warm; I see the fire.(A)
17 From the rest he makes a god, his idol;
    he bows down to it and worships.(B)
He prays(C) to it and says,
    “Save(D) me! You are my god!”

    and their minds closed so they cannot understand.
