Isaiah 46

American Standard Version

1BelH1078 boweth downH3766, NeboH5015 stoopeth; their idolsH6091 are upon the beasts, and upon the cattleH929: the things that ye carried about are made a loadH4853, a burdenH4853 to the wearyH5889 beast. 2They stoop, they bowH3766 downH3766 togetherH3162; they could not deliverH4422 the burdenH4853, but themselves are goneH1980 into captivityH7628.

3Hearken unto me, O houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and all the remnantH7611 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, that have been borneH5375by mefrom their birth, that have been carriedH5375 from the wombH990; 4and even to oldH7872 ageH7872 I am he, and even to hoar hairsH7872 will I carryH5375 you; I have madeH6213, and I will bearH5375; yea, I will carryH5375, and will deliverH4422. 5To whom will ye likenH1819 me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like? 6Such as lavish goldH2091 out of the bagH3599, and weighH8254 silverH3701 in the balance, they hireH7936 a goldsmithH6884, and he maketh it a godH410; they fall downH7812, yea, they worship. 7They bearH5375 it upon the shoulderH3802, they carryH5375 it, and setH5975 it in its placeH4725, and it standeth, from its placeH4725 shall it not removeH4185: yea, one may cryH6817 unto it, yet can it not answerH6030, nor saveH3467 him out of his troubleH6869.

8RememberH2142 this, and show yourselves men; bringH7725 it again to mind, O ye transgressorsH6586. 9RememberH2142 the formerH7223 thingsH7223 of old: for I am GodH430, and there is none else; I am GodH430, and there is none like me; 10declaringH5046 the endH319 from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done; sayingH559, My counselH6098 shall standH6965, and I will do all my pleasureH2656; 11callingH7121 a ravenous birdH5861 from the eastH4217, the manH376 of my counselH6098 from a far country; yea, I have spokenH1696, I will alsoH637 bringH935 it to pass; I have purposed, I will alsoH637 do it.

12Hearken unto me, ye stout-hearted, that are farH7350 from righteousnessH6666: 13I bringH7126 near my righteousnessH6666, it shall not be farH7368 off, and my salvationH8668 shall not tarry; and I will place salvationH8668 in ZionH6726 for IsraelH3478 my gloryH8597.
