Isaiah 57:6

     6. The smooth stones, shaped as idols, are the gods chosen by thee as thy portion (Ps 16:5).

      meat offering—not a bloody sacrifice, but one of meal and flour mingled with oil. "Meat" in Old English meant food, not flesh, as it means now (Le 14:10).

      Should I receive comfort—rather, "Shall I bear these things with patience?" [HORSLEY].
