Isaiah 44:18-20

New International Version - UK

¹⁸ They know nothing, they understand nothing;
    their eyes are plastered over so that they cannot see,
    and their minds closed so that they cannot understand.
¹⁹ No one stops to think,
    no one has the knowledge or understanding to say,
‘Half of it I used for fuel;
    I even baked bread over its coals,
    I roasted meat and I ate.
Shall I make a detestable thing from what is left?
    Shall I bow down to a block of wood?’
²⁰ Such a person feeds on ashes; a deluded heart misleads him;
    he cannot save himself, or say,
    ‘Is not this thing in my right hand a lie?’
