A deceived heart bows to wood

18They do not know, nor do they understand, because he has shut their eyes from seeing, and their hearts from understanding.

19And he does not take it to heart, and there is no knowledge or understanding to say, “I burned half of it in the fire; I also baked bread on its coals; I roasted meat and ate. Shall I make the rest of it into an abomination? Shall I bow down to a block of wood?”

20He feeds on ashes; a deceived heart has led him astray, and he cannot deliver himself or say, “Is there not a lie in my right hand?”
