Contextual Overview
9All makers of idols are nothing, and the things they treasure are worthless. Their witnesses fail to see or know anything, so they are put to shame. 10Who fashions a god or casts an idol which profits him nothing? 11Behold, all his companions will be put to shame, for the craftsmen themselves are only human. Let them all assemble and take their stand; they will all be brought to terror and shame. 12The blacksmith takes a tool and labors over the coals; he fashions an idol with hammers and forges it with his strong arms. Yet he grows hungry and his strength fails; he fails to drink water and grows faint. 13The woodworker extends a measuring line; he marks it out with a stylus; he shapes it with chisels and outlines it with a compass. He fashions it in the likeness of man, like man in all his glory, that it may dwell in a shrine. 14He cuts down cedars or retrieves a cypress or oak. He lets it grow strong among the trees of the forest. He plants a laurel, and the rain makes it grow. 15It serves as fuel for man. He takes some of it to warm himself, and he kindles a fire and bakes his bread; he even fashions it into a god and worships it; he makes an idol and bows down to it. 16He burns half of it in the fire, and he roasts meat on that half. He eats the roast and is satisfied. Indeed, he warms himself and says, "Ah! I am warm; I see the fire."17From the rest he makes a god, his graven image. He bows down to it and worships; he prays to it and says, "Save me, for you are my god." 18They cannot comprehend or understand, for He has shut their eyes so they cannot see, and closed their minds so they cannot understand.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
He burneth part thereof in the fire,.... To warm himself with, as before:
with part thereof he eateth flesh; that is, with part of it he dresses flesh, and makes it fit to eat; unless the meaning is, with part of it he makes tables and trenchers to eat meat off of; but the former sense seems most likely, and agrees with what follows:
he roasteth roast, and is satisfied; he roasts his meat with it, and eats it when roasted, and is highly pleased and delighted with it, and he eats of it to his satisfaction:
yea, he warmeth him, and saith, Aha; an expression of joy and delight, being before a good fire in winter time:
I am warm, I have seen the fire; have felt it, and enjoyed the comfort of it, which has given a sensible pleasure.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
With part thereof he eateth flesh - That is, he prepares flesh to eat, or prepares his food.
He roasteth roast - He roasts meat.
