Isaiah Chapter 46

World English Bible

   1: Bel bows down, Nebo stoops; their idols are on the animals, and on the cattle: the things that you carried about are made a load, a burden to the weary [animal].
   2: They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.
   3: Listen to me, house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, that have been borne [by me] from their birth, that have been carried from the womb;
   4: and even to old age I am he, and even to gray hairs will I carry you. I have made, and I will bear; yes, I will carry, and will deliver.
   5: To whom will you liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?
   6: Some pour out gold from the bag, and weigh silver in the balance. They hire a goldsmith, and he makes it a god. They fall down -- yes, they worship.
   7: They bear it on the shoulder, they carry it, and set it in its place, and it stands, from its place it shall not move: yes, one may cry to it, yet it can not answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
   8: Remember this, and show yourselves men; bring it again to mind, you transgressors.
   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;
   10: declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not [yet] done; saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure;
   11: calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country; yes, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed, I will also do it.
   12: Listen to me, you stout-hearted, who are far from righteousness:
   13: I bring near my righteousness, it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not wait; and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.
