New American Standard Bible
Isaiah 44:19-21
New American Standard Bible
19 No one [a]remembers, nor is there (A)knowledge or understanding to say, “I have burned half of it in the fire and also have baked bread over its coals. I roast meat and eat it. Then [b]I make the rest of it into an (B)abomination, [c]I bow down before a block of wood!” 20 He [d](C)feeds on ashes; a (D)deceived heart has misled him. And he cannot save [e]himself, nor say, “(E)Is there not a lie in my right hand?”
God Forgives and Redeems
21 “(F)Remember these things, Jacob,
And Israel, for you are (G)My servant;
I have formed you, you are My servant,
Israel, you will (H)not be forgotten by Me.

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,
