Isaiah 53:4-7 
September 29 2021 
 
Isaiah 44:14-17 He cuts down cedars, or he chooses a cypress tree or an oak and lets it grow strong among the trees of the forest. He plants a cedar and the rain nourishes it. 15 Then it becomes fuel for a man. He takes a part of it and warms himself; he kindles a fire and bakes bread. Also he makes a god and worships it; he makes it an idol and falls down before it. 16 Half of it he burns in the fire. Over the half he eats meat; he roasts it and is satisfied. Also he warms himself and says,"Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire!" 17 And the rest of it he makes into a god, his idol, and falls down to it and worships it. He prays to it and says, "Deliver me, for you are my god!" 
 
God said, you grow a tree and cut it down. You chop up and burn part of it to cook your meals and to heat your house. And for another part of the same tree, you cut it and shape it into an idol. Then you fall down before this idol and call it a god.
