Isaiah 44:18

Idolatry Is Ridiculous

¹⁷ And with the remainder thereof he maketh a god, his graven image; he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me, for thou art my god. ¹⁸ They have no knowledge, and understand not; for he hath plastered their eyes, that they may not see; and their hearts, that they may not understand. ¹⁹ And none taketh it to heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire, and have also baked bread upon the coals thereof, I have roasted flesh, and eaten it, and with the rest thereof shall I make an abomination? shall I bow down to a block of wood?
