Isaiah 44:17–18

From the rest he makes a god, his idol;

he bows down to it and worships.

He prays to it and says,

“Save me! You are my god!”

They know nothing, they understand nothing;

their eyes are plastered over so they cannot see,

and their minds closed so they cannot understand.

He makes a god or his idol with the rest of it.

He bows down to it and worships;

he prays to it, “Save me, for you are my god.”

Such people do not comprehend

and cannot understand,

for he has shut their eyes so they cannot see,

and their minds so they cannot understand.

Then he takes what’s left

and makes his god: a carved idol!

He falls down in front of it,

worshiping and praying to it.

“Rescue me!” he says.

“You are my god!”

Such stupidity and ignorance!

Their eyes are closed, and they cannot see.

Their minds are shut, and they cannot think.

And he makes the remainder of it into a god!

He bows down to his idol,

and he bows in worship and prays to him,

and he says, “Save me, for you are my god!”

They do not know,

and they do not understand,

for their eyes are besmeared so that they cannot see,

their minds so that they have no insight.

And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image:

He falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it,

And saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god.

They have not known nor understood:

For he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see;

And their hearts, that they cannot understand.
