Isaiah 44:17-20
17Yet the restH7611 of it he 1makesH6213 into a godH410, his carvedH6459 imageH6459. He bowsH5456 downH5456 before it and worshipsH2331; he also 2praysH6419 to it and saysH559, “SaveH5337 me, for you are my godH410.”
18They do not 3knowH3045, norH3808 do they understandH995, for He has 4smearedH2911 overH2911 their eyesH5869 soH4480 thatH4480 they cannotH4480 seeH7200, and their heartsH3820 soH4480 thatH4480 they cannotH4480 comprehendH7919. 19NoH3808 one 5remembersH7725H413H3820, norH3808 is there 6knowledgeH1847 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 7I makeH6213 the restH3499 of it into an 8abominationH8441, 9I bowH5456 downH5456 before a blockH944 of woodH6086!” 20He 1011feedsH7462 on ashesH665; a 12deceivedH8524 heartH3820 has misledH5186 him. And he cannotH3808 saveH5337 13himselfH5315, norH3808 sayH559, “14Is there not a lieH8267 in my rightH3225 handH3225?”
