Isaiah 44:19

And no one reflecteth—There is neither knowledge nor discernment—to say, Half thereof, have I burned up in the fire Moreover also I have baked, on the coals thereof, bread, I roasted flesh, and have been eating,—And of the remainder thereof, an abomination, shall I make? And, to a log of wood, shall I pay adoration?
