< Isaiah 46 >

1 Bel has been broken. Nebo has been crushed. Their idols have been placed upon beasts and cattle, your grievous heavy burdens, even unto exhaustion.
He has bowed down Bel [is] stooping low Nebo they belong idols their to the animal[s] and to the cattle burdens your [are] carried a load for a weary [animal].
2 They have been melted down, or have been smashed together. They were not able to save the one who carried them, and their life will go into captivity.
They have stooped low they have bowed down together not they have been able to rescue a burden and self their in captivity it has gone.
3 Listen to me, house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who are carried in my bosom, who were born from my womb.
Listen to me O house of Jacob and all [the] remnant of [the] house of Israel who have been carried from [the] belly who have been borne from [the] womb.
4 Even to your old age, I am the same. And even with your grey hairs, I will carry you. I have made you, and I will sustain you. I will carry you, and I will save you.
And until old age I [am] he and until gray hair I I will carry I I made and I I will bear and I I will carry and I may rescue.
5 To whom would you liken me, or equate me, or compare me, or consider me to be similar?
To whom? will you liken me and you may make [me] equal? and will you compare? me and we may be alike.
6 You take gold from a bag, and you weigh silver on a scale, so as to hire a goldsmith to make a god. And they fall prostrate and adore.
Those [who] pour out gold from a bag and silver on scale[s] they weigh out they hire a metalsmith and he makes it a god they prostrate themselves also they bow down.
7 They carry him on their shoulders, supporting him, and they set him in his place. And he will stand still and will not move from his place. But even when they will cry out to him, he will not hear. He will not save them from tribulation.
They lift up it on a shoulder they carry it and they set down it in place its so it may stand from place its not it departs also he cries out to it and not it answers from trouble his not it delivers him.
8 Remember this, and be confounded. Return, you transgressors, to the heart.
Remember this and pluck up courage bring [it] back O rebels on heart.
9 Remember the past ages. For I am God, and there is no other god. There is no one like me.
Remember former [things] from long ago for I [am] God and there not [is] yet God and there not [is] like me.
10 From the beginning, I announce the last things, and from the start, the things that have not yet been done, saying: My plan will stand firm, and my entire will shall be done.
[one who] declares From [the] beginning [the] end and from antiquity [things] which not they have been done [one who] says purpose my it will be fulfilled and all desire my I will accomplish.
11 I call a bird from the east, and from a far away land, the man of my will. And I have spoken it, and I will carry it out. I have created, and I will act.
[one who] calls From [the] east a bird of prey from a land of distance a man of (purpose my *Q(K)*) also I have spoken also I will bring it I have planned also I will accomplish it.
12 Hear me, you who are hard of heart, who are far from justice!
Listen to me O [people] mighty of heart O [people] distant from righteousness.
13 I have brought my justice near. It will not be far away, and my salvation will not be delayed. I will grant salvation in Zion, and my glory in Israel.
I have brought near righteousness my not it is far away and salvation my not it will delay and I will give in Zion salvation to Israel splendor my.
