Isaiah 44:19-21
International Children’s Bible
19 They have not thought about these things.
They don’t understand.
They have never thought to themselves,
“I burned half of the wood in the fire.
I used the hot coals to bake my bread.
I cooked and ate my meat.
And I used the wood that was left to make this hated thing.
I am worshiping a block of wood!”
20 He doesn’t know what he is doing.
His confused mind leads him the wrong way.
He cannot save himself.
He cannot say, “This statue I am holding is a false god.”
The Lord Is the True God
21 The Lord says, “People of Jacob, remember these things!
People of Israel, remember you are my servants.
I made you. You are my servants.
So Israel, I will not forget you.
Isaiah 44:19-21
New International Version
19 No one stops to think,
no one has the knowledge or understanding(A) to say,
“Half of it I used for fuel;(B)
I even baked bread over its coals,
I roasted meat and I ate.
Shall I make a detestable(C) thing from what is left?
Shall I bow down to a block of wood?”(D)
20 Such a person feeds on ashes;(E) a deluded(F) heart misleads him;
he cannot save himself, or say,
“Is not this thing in my right hand a lie?(G)”
