He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire:

The verse 16 is found in chapter 44 of Isaiah. Isaiah ridicules idol-making by showing the contradiction of using part of a tree for cooking and another part to make a god. The craftsman ends up worshiping what he himself produced. Against this inability, Yahweh presents himself as Creator, Redeemer, and Lord of history who even uses Cyrus to fulfill his purpose.

Die Hälfte verbrennt er im Feuer, über der Hälfte ißt er Fleisch; er brät einen Braten und sättigt sich, wärmt sich auch und spricht: Hoja! ich bin warm geworden, ich sehe meine Lust am Feuer.
Parte del leño quemará en el fuego; con parte de él comerá carne, aderezará asado, y se saciará; después se calentará, y dirá: ¡Oh! heme calentado, he visto el fuego;
Il brûle au feu la moitié de son bois, Avec cette moitié il cuit de la viande, Il apprête un rôti, et se rassasie; Il se chauffe aussi, et dit: Ha! Ha! Je me chauffe, je vois la flamme!
Egli ne avrà bruciata la metà al fuoco, col mezzo dell’altra metà egli avrà mangiata della carne, ed avrà arrostito l’arrosto, e si sarà saziato; ed anche, dopo essersi scaldato, dirà: Eia! io mi sono scaldato; io ho veduto il fuoco.
Metade dele queima no fogo, com a outra metade prepara a carne para comer, assa-a e farta-se dela; também se aquenta, e diz: Ora já me aquentei, já vi o fogo.
他將一半的木頭燒在火中,用它烤肉來吃;吃飽了,就自己取暖說:「啊哈,我暖和了,我看到火了!」
