Isaiah 44:14-17

14He cuts down cedars; he selects the cypress and the oak; he plants the pine in the forest to be nourished by the rain.

15Then he uses part of the wood to make a fire. With it he warms himself and bakes his bread. Then—yes, it’s true—he takes the rest of it and makes himself a god to worship! He makes an idol and bows down in front of it!

16He burns part of the tree to roast his meat and to keep himself warm. He says, “Ah, that fire feels good.”

17Then he takes what’s left and makes his god: a carved idol! He falls down in front of it, worshiping and praying to it. “Rescue me!” he says. “You are my god!”
