(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 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 shew 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.
