Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 16 of 28
"He 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:"
In context
14He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish .
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.
