NET Bible
"They do not comprehend or understand, for their eyes are blind and cannot see; their minds do not discern."
— Isaiah 44:18, NET Bible
“They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.”
“They know not, neither do they consider: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand. ”
“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.”
“They have not known, nor understood: for their eyes are covered that they may not see, and that they may not understand with their heart.”
“They have no knowledge or wisdom; for he has put a veil over their eyes, so that they may not see; and on their hearts, so that they may not give attention.”
“They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.”
A man uses it to make a fire; he takes some of it and warms himself. Yes, he kindles a fire and bakes bread. Then he makes a god and worships it; he makes an idol and bows down to it.
Half of it he burns in the fire– over that half he cooks meat; he roasts a meal and fills himself. Yes, he warms himself and says,‘Ah! I am warm as I look at the fire.’
With the rest of it he makes a god, his idol; he bows down to it and worships it. He prays to it, saying,‘Rescue me, for you are my god!’
They do not comprehend or understand, for their eyes are blind and cannot see; their minds do not discern.
No one thinks to himself, nor do they comprehend or understand and say to themselves:‘I burned half of it in the fire– yes, I baked bread over the coals; I roasted meat and ate it. With the rest of it should I make a disgusting idol? Should I bow down to dry wood?’
He feeds on ashes; his deceived mind misleads him. He cannot rescue himself, nor does he say,‘Is this not a false god I hold in my right hand?’
Remember these things, O Jacob, O Israel, for you are my servant. I formed you to be my servant; O Israel, I will not forget you!
