15. Then it will be for a man to burn;and he takes some of it, and warms himself.Yes, he burns it, and bakes bread.Yes, he makes a god, and worships it;he makes it a carved image, and falls down to it.
16. He burns part of it in the fire.With part of it, he eats meat.He roasts a roast, and is satisfied.Yes, he warms himself,and says, “Aha! I am warm. I have seen the fire.”
17. The rest of it he makes into a god,even his engraved image.He bows down to it and worships,and prays to it, and says, “Deliver me; for you are my god!”
18. They don’t know, neither do they consider:for he has shut their eyes, that they can’t see;and their hearts, that they can’t understand.
19. No one thinks,neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say,“I have burnt part of it in the fire.Yes, I have also baked bread on its coals.I have roasted meat and eaten it.Shall I make the rest of it into an abomination?Shall I bow down to a tree trunk?”
