Isaiah 44:15-18

New International Version

¹⁵ It is used as fuel^(A) for burning;
    some of it he takes and warms himself,
    he kindles a fire and bakes bread.
But he also fashions a god and worships^(B) it;
    he makes an idol and bows^(C) down to it.
¹⁶ Half of the wood he burns in the fire;
    over it he prepares his meal,
    he roasts his meat and eats his fill.
He also warms himself and says,
    “Ah! I am warm; I see the fire.^(D)”
¹⁷ From the rest he makes a god, his idol;
    he bows down to it and worships.^(E)
He prays^(F) to it and says,
    “Save^(G) me! You are my god!”
¹⁸ They know nothing, they understand^(H) nothing;
    their eyes^(I) are plastered over so they cannot see,
    and their minds closed so they cannot understand.
