Isaiah 44:18-20

18They do not 1know, nor do they understand, for He has 2smeared over their eyes so that they cannot see and their hearts so that they cannot comprehend. 19No one 3recalls, nor is there 4knowledge 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 5I make the rest of it into an 6abomination, 7I fall down before a block of wood!” 20He 89feeds on ashes; a 10deceived heart has turned him aside. And he cannot deliver 11himself, nor say, “12Is there not a lie in my right hand?”
