He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
The verse 20 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.
