17 And the rest of it he makes into a god,
His carved image.
He falls down before it and worships it,
Prays to it and says,
“Deliver me, for you are my god!”
His carved image.
He falls down before it and worships it,
Prays to it and says,
“Deliver me, for you are my god!”
18 aThey do not know nor understand;
For bHe has shut their eyes, so that they cannot see,
And their hearts, so that they cannot cunderstand.
For bHe has shut their eyes, so that they cannot see,
And their hearts, so that they cannot cunderstand.
19 And no one aconsiders in his heart,
Nor is there knowledge nor understanding to say,
“I have burned half of it in the fire,
Yes, I have also baked bread on its coals;
I have roasted meat and eaten it;
And shall I make the rest of it an abomination?
Shall I fall down before a block of wood?”
Nor is there knowledge nor understanding to say,
“I have burned half of it in the fire,
Yes, I have also baked bread on its coals;
I have roasted meat and eaten it;
And shall I make the rest of it an abomination?
Shall I fall down before a block of wood?”
20 He feeds on ashes;
aA deceived heart has turned him aside;
And he cannot deliver his soul,
Nor say, “Is there not a blie in my right hand?”
aA deceived heart has turned him aside;
And he cannot deliver his soul,
Nor say, “Is there not a blie in my right hand?”
