Isaiah 44:18-20

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁸ They have not known, nor understood: for their eyes are covered that they may not see, and that they may not understand with their heart.

¹⁹ They do not consider in their mind, nor know, nor have the thought to say: I have burnt part of it in the fire, and I have baked bread upon the coals thereof: I have broiled flesh and have eaten, and of the residue thereof shall I make an idol? shall I fall down before the stock of a tree?

²⁰ Part thereof is ashes: his foolish heart adoreth it, and he will not save his soul, nor say: Perhaps there is a lie in my right hand.
