Isaiah 46:1-7

11BelH1078 has bowedH3766 downH3766, NeboH5015 stoopsH7164 overH7164; Their imagesH6091 are consigned to the beastsH2421 and the cattleH929. The thingsH5385 2that you carryH5385 are burdensomeH6006, A loadH4853 for the wearyH5889 beast.2They stoopedH7164 overH7164, they have bowedH3766 downH3766 togetherH3164; They couldH3201 not rescueH4422 the burdenH4853, But 3have themselvesH5315 4goneH1980 into captivityH7628.

3“5ListenH8085 to Me, O houseH1004 of JacobH3290, And allH3605 6the remnantH7611 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, You who have been 7borneH6006 by Me from 8birthH990 And have been carriedH5375 from the wombH7358;4Even to your oldH2209 ageH2209 9I 10will be the sameH1931, And evenH5704 to your 1112grayingH7872 yearsH7872 I will bearH5445 you! I have 13doneH6213 it, and I will carryH5375 you; And I will bearH5445 you and I will deliverH4422 you.

5“14To whomH4310 would you likenH1819 Me And makeH7737 Me equalH7737 and compareH4911 Me, That we would be alikeH1819?6Those who 15lavishH2107 goldH2091 from the purseH3599 And weighH8254 silverH3701 on the scaleH7070 HireH7936 a goldsmithH6884, and he makesH6213 it into a godH410; They 16bowH5456 downH5456, indeedH637 they worshipH7812 it.7They 17liftH5375 it upon the shoulderH3802 and carryH5445 it; They setH5117 it in its placeH8478 and it standsH5975 there. 18It does not moveH4185 from its placeH4725. ThoughH637 one may cryH6817 to it, it 19cannotH3808 answerH6030; It 20cannotH3808 deliverH3467 him from his distressH6869.
