ISAIAH ยท Chapter 46
46:1 Bel bows down, Nebo stoops, their idols were upon the beasts, and
upon the cattle: your carriages were heavy loaded; they are a burden to
the weary beast.
46:2 They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the
burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.
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:
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.
46:5 To whom will all of you liken me, and make me equal, and compare
me, that we may be like?
46:6 They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance,
and hire a goldsmith; and he makes it a god: they fall down, yea, they
worship.
46:7 They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in
his place, and he stands; 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.
46:8 Remember this, and show yourselves men: bring it again to mind,
O all of you transgressors.
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,
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:
46:11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executes
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.
46:12 Hearken unto me, all of you stouthearted, that are far from righteousness:
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.
