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.
