19. He doesn’t think,and has no knowledge or understanding to think:Half of it I burned in the fire,and I baked bread on its coals,and roasted meat and ate.Should I make the rest into something detestable?Should I bow down to a block of wood?
20. He’s feeding on ashes;his deluded mind has led him astray.He can’t save himself and say,"Isn’t this thing in my hand a lie?"
21. Remember these things, Jacob;Israel, for you are my servant.I formed you; you are my servant!I won’t forget you, Israel.
