• Isaiah 44:19, 20
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)

    • 19 No one reflects in his heart

      Or has knowledge or understanding, saying:

      “Half of it I burned up in a fire,

      And on its coals I baked bread and roasted meat to eat.

      Should I, then, make the rest of it into a detestable thing?+

      Should I worship a block* of wood from a tree?”

      20 He feeds on ashes.

      His own deluded heart has led him astray.

      He cannot save himself,* nor does he say:

      “Is there not a lie in my right hand?”
