Isaiah 46:5-13

5“1To whomH4310 would you likenH1819 Me And makeH7737 Me equalH7737 and compareH4911 Me, That we would be alikeH1819?6Those who 2lavishH2107 goldH2091 from the purseH3599 And weighH8254 silverH3701 on the scaleH7070 HireH7936 a goldsmithH6884, and he makesH6213 it into a godH410; They 3bowH5456 downH5456, indeedH637 they worshipH7812 it.7They 4liftH5375 it upon the shoulderH3802 and carryH5445 it; They setH5117 it in its placeH8478 and it standsH5975 there. 5It does not moveH4185 from its placeH4725. ThoughH637 one may cryH6817 to it, it 6cannotH3808 answerH6030; It 7cannotH3808 deliverH3467 him from his distressH6869.

8“8RememberH2142 thisH2088, and be 9assuredH847; 10RecallH7725 it to 11mindH3820, you 12transgressorsH6586.9RememberH2142 the 13formerH7223 thingsH7223 longH5769 pastH5769, For I am GodH410, and thereH369 is 14noH369 otherH5750; I am GodH430, and there is 15noH657 oneH657 likeH3644 Me,10DeclaringH5046 the endH319 from the beginningH7225, And from ancientH6924 timesH6924 things whichH834 have not been doneH6213, SayingH559, ‘16My purposeH6098 will be establishedH6965, And I will accomplishH6213 allH3605 My goodH2656 pleasureH2656’;11CallingH7121 a 17birdH5861 of preyH5861 from the 18eastH4217, The manH376 of 19My purposeH6098 from a farH4801 countryH776. TrulyH637 I have 20spokenH1696; trulyH637 I will bringH935 it to passH935. I have plannedH3335 it, surely I will doH6213 it.

12“21ListenH8085 to Me, you 22stubborn-mindedH47H3820, Who are 23farH7350 from righteousnessH6666.13I 24bringH7126 nearH7126 My righteousnessH6666, it is not farH7368 off; And My salvationH8668 will not delayH309. And I will grantH5414 25salvationH8668 in ZionH6726, And My 26gloryH8597 for IsraelH3478.
