ISA-46:1 Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon

the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages [were] heavy

loaden; [they are] a burden to the weary [beast].

ISA-46:2 They stoop, they bow down together; they could not

deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.

ISA-46:3 Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant

of the house of Israel, which are borne [by me] from the belly,

which are carried from the womb:

ISA-46:4 And [even] to [your] old age I [am] he; and [even] to

hoar hairs will I carry [you]: I have made, and I will bear;

even I will carry, and will deliver [you].

ISA-46:5 To whom will ye liken me, and make [me] equal, and

compare me, that we may be like?

ISA-46:6 They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in

the balance, [and] hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god:

they fall down, yea, they worship.

ISA-46:7 They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and

set him in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he

not remove: yea, [one] shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer,

 nor save him out of his trouble.

ISA-46:8 Remember this, and show yourselves men: bring [it]

again to mind, O ye transgressors.

ISA-46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I [am] God, and

[there is] none else; [I am] God, and [there is] none like me,

ISA-46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient

times [the things] that are not [yet] done, saying, My counsel

shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

ISA-46:11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that

executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken [it],

 I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed [it], I will also

do it.

ISA-46:12 Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that [are] far from

righteousness:

ISA-46:13 I bring near my righteousness: it shall not be far off,

 and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in

Zion for Israel my glory.
