Isa 44:19-20, 57:7-8, Jer 2:27-28, 3:9 | ESV | STEP | No one considers , nor is there knowledge or discernment to say , Half of it I burned in the fire ; I also baked bread on its coals ; I roasted meat and have eaten . And shall I make the rest of it an abomination ? Shall I fall down before a block of wood ?

Isaiah 44:19-20

19 No one considers, nor is there knowledge or discernment to say, “Half of it I burned in the fire; I also baked bread on its coals; I roasted meat and have eaten. And shall I make the rest of it an ^aabomination? Shall I fall down before a block of wood?” 20 ^bHe feeds on ^cashes; a deluded heart has led him astray, and he cannot deliver himself or say, “Is there not ^da lie in my right hand?”

Isaiah 57:7-8

7 ^eOn a high and lofty mountain
you have set your bed,
and there you went up to offer sacrifice.
8 Behind the door and the doorpost
you have set up your memorial;
for, deserting me, ^fyou have uncovered your bed,
you have gone up to it,
^gyou have made it wide;
and you have made a covenant for yourself with them,
you have loved their bed,
you have looked on nakedness. ^{▼▼Or on a monument (see 56:5); Hebrew on a hand}

Jeremiah 2:27-28

27 who say to a tree, ‘You are my father,’
and to a stone, ‘You gave me birth.’
For they have turned their back to me,
and not their face.
But ⁱin the time of their trouble they say,
‘Arise and save us!’
28 But ^jwhere are your gods
that you made for yourself?
Let them arise, ^kif they can save you,
in your time of trouble;
for ^las many as your cities
are your gods, O Judah.

Jeremiah 3:9

9 Because she took her whoredom lightly, she polluted the land, committing adultery with ^mstone and tree.
