Isaías 44:15 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 44:15

Then shall it be for a man to burn
And which indeed is the proper use of it, but not all that this man puts it to; only the boughs, and what he cuts off as useless to his purpose, and the chips he makes, which he commits to the fire: for he will take thereof, and warm himself;
with some part of it he makes a fire in his parlour, and warms himself when it is cold weather: yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread;
he heats his oven with another part of it, and bakes the bread he has made for himself and family to live on, and which is putting it to a good use: yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh a graven image, and
falleth down thereto;
the other part of the tree, and which is the better part, he makes an image of, and carves it, and calls it a god; and not only so, but when he has done, falls down and worships it; than which there cannot be a greater instance of stupidity and folly.

Isaías 44:15 In-Context

13 El carpintero extiende el cordel de medir, traza el diseño con tiza roja, lo labra con gubias, lo traza con el compás y le da forma de hombre y belleza humana para colocarlo en una casa.
14 Corta cedros para sí, toma un ciprés o una encina, y hace que sea fuerte entre los árboles del bosque; planta un pino y la lluvia lo hace crecer.
15 Luego sirve para que el hombre haga fuego, y toma uno y se calienta; también hace fuego para cocer pan; además hace un dios y lo adora; hace de él una imagen tallada, y se postra delante de ella.
16 La mitad del leño quema en el fuego; sobre esta mitad prepara un asado, come carne y se sacia. También se calienta, y dice: ¡Ah!, me he calentado, he visto la llama.
17 Y del resto hace un dios, su ídolo. Se postra delante de él, lo adora, y le ruega, diciendo: Líbrame, pues mi dios eres tú.
