Isaiah 46
1 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].
Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth; their idols are upon the beasts, and upon the cattle; the things that ye carried about are made a load, a burden to the weary beast.
2 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.
They stoop, they bow down together, they could not deliver the burden; and themselves are gone into captivity.
3 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.
Hearken unto Me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, that are borne by Me from the birth, that are carried from the womb:
4 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.
Even to old age I am the same, and even to hoar hairs will I carry you; I have made, and I will bear; yea, I will carry, and will deliver.
5 To whom? will you liken me and you may make [me] equal? and will you compare? me and we may be alike.
To whom will ye liken Me, and make Me equal, and compare Me, that we may be like?
6 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.
Ye that lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance; ye that hire a goldsmith, that he make it a god, to fall down thereto, yea, to worship.
7 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.
He is borne upon the shoulder, he is carried, and set in his place, and he standeth, from his place he doth not remove; yea, though one cry unto him, he cannot answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
8 Remember this and pluck up courage bring [it] back O rebels on heart.
Remember this, and stand fast; bring it to mind, O ye transgressors.
9 Remember former [things] from long ago for I [am] God and there not [is] yet God and there not [is] like me.
Remember the former things of old: that I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like Me;
10 [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.
Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done; saying: 'My counsel shall stand, and all My pleasure will I do';
11 [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.
Calling a bird of prey from the east, the man of My counsel from a far country; yea, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass, I have purposed, I will also do it.
12 Listen to me O [people] mighty of heart O [people] distant from righteousness.
Hearken unto Me, ye stout-hearted, that are far from righteousness:
13 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.
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.
