# Isaiah 46
|
|||
|
|
<a id="1" name="1"></a>
|
|||
|
|
1. Bel bows down; Nebo stoops; their idols are on beasts and livestock; these things you carry are borne as burdens on weary beasts.
|
|||
|
|
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
|
|||
|
|
2. They stoop; they bow down together; they cannot save the burden, but themselves go into captivity.
|
|||
|
|
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
|
|||
|
|
3. “Listen to me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been borne by me from before your birth, carried from the womb;
|
|||
|
|
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
|
|||
|
|
4. even to your old age I am he, and to gray hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear; I will carry and will save.
|
|||
|
|
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
|
|||
|
|
5. “To whom will you liken me and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be alike?
|
|||
|
|
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
|
|||
|
|
6. Those who lavish gold from the purse, and weigh out silver in the scales, hire a goldsmith, and he makes it into a god; then they fall down and worship!
|
|||
|
|
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
|
|||
|
|
7. They lift it to their shoulders, they carry it, they set it in its place, and it stands there; it cannot move from its place. If one cries to it, it does not answer or save him from his trouble.
|
|||
|
|
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
|
|||
|
|
8. “Remember this and stand firm, recall it to mind, you transgressors,
|
|||
|
|
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
|
|||
|
|
9. remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me,
|
|||
|
|
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
|
|||
|
|
10. declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,’
|
|||
|
|
<a id="11" name="11"></a>
|
|||
|
|
11. calling a bird of prey from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country. I have spoken, and I will bring it to pass; I have purposed, and I will do it.
|
|||
|
|
<a id="12" name="12"></a>
|
|||
|
|
12. “Listen to me, you stubborn of heart, you who are far from righteousness:
|
|||
|
|
<a id="13" name="13"></a>
|
|||
|
|
13. I bring near my righteousness; it is not far off, and my salvation will not delay; I will put salvation in Zion, for Israel my glory.”
