19. And no one considers 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;A deceived heart has turned him aside;And he cannot deliver his soul,Nor say, “Is there not a lie in my right hand?”
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 forgotten by Me!
22. I have blotted out, like a thick cloud, your transgressions,And like a cloud, your sins.Return to Me, for I have redeemed you.”
