    their eyes^(B) are plastered over so they cannot see,
    and their minds closed so they cannot understand.

    I even baked bread over its coals,
    I roasted meat and I ate.
Shall I make a detestable^(E) thing from what is left?
    Shall I bow down to a block of wood?”^(F)
²⁰Such a person feeds on ashes;^(G) a deluded^(H) heart misleads him;
    he cannot save himself, or say,
    “Is not this thing in my right hand a lie?^(I)”
