And no one considers in his heart, no one has the knowledge or insight to say, “I burned half of it in the fire, and I baked bread on its coals; I roasted meat and I ate. Shall I make something detestable with the rest of it? Shall I bow down to a block of wood?”
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
No one thinks, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, “I have burned part of it in the fire. Yes, I have also baked bread on its coals. I have roasted meat and eaten it. Shall I make the rest of it into an abomination? Shall I bow down to a tree trunk?”
World English Bible (WEB)
And none considereth{H7725}{(H8686)} in his heart{H3820}, neither is there knowledge{H1847} nor understanding{H8394} to say{H559}{(H8800)}, I have burned{H8313}{(H8804)} part{H2677} of it in{H1119} the fire{H784}; yea, also I have baked{H644}{(H8804)} bread{H3899} upon the coals{H1513} thereof; I have roasted{H6740}{(H8799)} flesh{H1320}, and eaten{H398}{(H8799)} it: and shall I make{H6213}{(H8799)} the residue{H3499} thereof an abomination{H8441}? shall I fall down{H5456}{(H8799)} to the stock{H944} of a tree{H6086}?
Strong's King James
And none doth turn it back unto his heart, Nor hath knowledge nor understanding to say, ‘Half of it I have burned in the fire, Yea, also, I have baked bread over its coals, I roast flesh and I eat, And its remnant for an abomination I make, To the stock of a tree I fall down.’
