Isaiah 44:18
King James Version
“They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; their hearts, that they cannot understand.”
Context
15Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto.
16He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire:
17And the residue thereof he maketh a god, his graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou my god.
18They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; their hearts, that they cannot understand.
19And none considereth in his heart, neither knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?
20He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, not a lie in my right hand?
21Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou my servant: I have formed thee; thou my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me.
