Isaiah 44:18-20

18They do not 1knowH3045, norH3808 do they understandH995, for He has 2smearedH2911 overH2911 their eyesH5869 soH4480 that they cannotH4480 seeH7200 and their heartsH3820 soH4480 that they cannotH4480 comprehendH7919. 19NoH3808 one 3recallsH7725H413H3820, norH3808 is there 4knowledgeH1847 or understandingH8394 to sayH559, “I have burnedH8313 halfH2677 of it in the fireH784 and alsoH637 have bakedH644 breadH3899 overH5921 its coalsH1513. I roastH6740 meatH1320 and eatH398 it. Then 5I makeH6213 the restH3499 of it into an 6abominationH8441, 7I fallH5456 downH5456 before a blockH944 of woodH6086!” 20He 89feedsH7462 on ashesH665; a 10deceivedH8524 heartH3820 has turnedH5186 him asideH5186. And he cannotH3808 deliverH5337 11himselfH5315, norH3808 sayH559, “12Is there not a lieH8267 in my rightH3225 handH3225?”
