King James Version |   | |
 |
| |
| | 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 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.
