What does Isaiah 44:16 mean?

Half the wood he burns in the fire—he roasts meat over it, eats, and is satisfied. He warms himself and says, 'Ah, I’m warm, I can feel the fire.' Isaiah 44:16 - Modern Text Bible

(The wood’s ordinary use is contrasted with its supposed sacredness when made into an idol.)
