Isaiah 44:18-20

18 They do not ^aknow, nor do they understand, for He has ^bsmeared over their eyes so that they cannot see and their hearts so that they cannot comprehend. 19 No one ^{▼▼ Lit returns to his heart}recalls, nor is there ^dknowledge or understanding to say, “I have burned half of it in the fire and also have baked bread over its coals. I roast meat and eat it. Then ^{▼▼ Or shall I make?}I make the rest of it into an ^fabomination, ^{▼▼ Or shall I fall...?}I fall down before a block of wood!” 20 He ^{▼▼ Or is a companion of ashes
,} ⁱfeeds on ashes; a ^jdeceived heart has turned him aside. And he cannot deliver ^{▼▼ Lit his soul}himself, nor say, ^l“Is there not a lie in my right hand?”
