Isaiah 44:16-18

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁶ He burns half of it in the fire, of that half he eats flesh. He roasts the roast and is satisfied. Also, he warms himself and says, “Aha, I am warm. I have been at the fire.”

¹⁷ And with the remains he makes a god, his idol. He bows to it, and worships and prays to it, and says, “Deliver me. For you are my god.”

¹⁸ They have not known or understood. For God has shut their eyes so that they cannot see, their heart so that they cannot understand.
