Isaiah 46

1BelH1078 boweth downH3766, NeboH5015 stoopethH7164, their idolsH6091 were upon the beastsH2416, and upon the cattleH929: your carriagesH5385 were heavily loadedH6006; they were a burdenH4853 to the wearyH5889 beast . 2They stoopH7164, they bow downH3766 togetherH3162; they couldH3201 not deliverH4422 the burdenH4853, but themselvesH5315 have goneH1980 into captivityH7628.1 3HearkenH8085 to me, O houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and all the remnantH7611 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, who are borneH6006 by me from birthH990, who are carriedH5375 from the wombH7356: 4And even to your old ageH2209 I am he; and even to gray hairsH7872 will I carryH5445 you : I have madeH6213, and I will bearH5375; even I will carryH5445, and will deliverH4422 you .

5To whom will ye likenH1819 me, and make me equalH7737, and compareH4911 me, that we may be likeH1819? 6They lavishH2107 goldH2091 out of the bagH3599, and weighH8254 silverH3701 in the balanceH7070, and hireH7936 a goldsmithH6884; and he makethH6213 it a godH410: they fall downH5456, yea, they worshipH7812. 7They bearH5375 him upon the shoulderH3802, they carryH5445 him, and set him in his placeH3240, and he standethH5975; from his placeH4725 shall he not moveH4185: yea, one shall cryH6817 to him, yet he cannot answerH6030, nor saveH3467 him out of his troubleH6869. 8RememberH2142 this, and show yourselves menH377: bring it againH7725 to mindH3820, O ye transgressorsH6586. 9RememberH2142 the former thingsH7223 of oldH5769: for I am GodH410, and there is none else; I am GodH430, and there is noneH657 likeH3644 me, 10DeclaringH5046 the endH319 from the beginningH7225, and from ancient timesH6924 the things that are not yet doneH6213, sayingH559, My counselH6098 shall standH6965, and I will doH6213 all my pleasureH2656: 11CallingH7121 a ravenous birdH5861 from the eastH4217, the manH376 that executeth my counselH6098 from a farH4801 countryH776: yea, I have spokenH1696 it, I will also bringH935 it to pass; I have purposedH3335 it, I will also performH6213 it.2 12HearkenH8085 to me, ye stubborn in heartH47H3820, that are far fromH7350 righteousnessH6666: 13I bring nearH7126 my righteousnessH6666; it shall not be far offH7368, and my salvationH8668 shall not delayH309: and I will placeH5414 salvationH8668 in ZionH6726 for IsraelH3478 my gloryH8597.
