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?”

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?”

Israel Is Not Forgotten
21 “Remember these, O Jacob,
And Israel, for you are My servant;
I have formed you, you are My servant;
O Israel, you will not be aforgotten by Me!
And Israel, for you are My servant;
I have formed you, you are My servant;
O Israel, you will not be aforgotten by Me!
22 aI have blotted out, like a thick cloud, your transgressions,
And like a cloud, your sins.
Return to Me, for bI have redeemed you.”
And like a cloud, your sins.
Return to Me, for bI have redeemed you.”
23 aSing, O heavens, for the Lord has done it!
Shout, you lower parts of the earth;
Break forth into singing, you mountains,
O forest, and every tree in it!
For the Lord has redeemed Jacob,
And bglorified Himself in Israel.
Shout, you lower parts of the earth;
Break forth into singing, you mountains,
O forest, and every tree in it!
For the Lord has redeemed Jacob,
And bglorified Himself in Israel.
