Isaiah 44:18-20

World English Bible

¹⁸ They don’t know, neither do they consider,
    for he has shut their eyes, that they can’t see,
    and their hearts, that they can’t understand.
¹⁹ No one thinks,
    neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say,
    “I have burned part of it in the fire.
    Yes, I have also baked bread on its coals.
    I have roasted meat and eaten it.
    Shall I make the rest of it into an abomination?
    Shall I bow down to a tree trunk?”
²⁰ He feeds on ashes.
    A deceived heart has turned him aside;
    and he can’t deliver his soul,
    nor say, “Isn’t there a lie in my right hand?”
