Isaiah 46
1Bel 2 Nebo stoops. 1 Their idols are carried by animals, 2 and on the livestock. 1 The things that you carried around are heavy loads, 2 a burden for the weary. 1
2They 2 They could not deliver the burden, 2 but they have gone into captivity. 1
3“ Listen 2 and all the remnant of the house of Israel, 2 that have been carried from their birth, 2 that have been carried from the womb. 1
4Even 2 and even to grey hairs I will carry you. 1 I have made, and I will bear. 2 Yes, I will carry, and will deliver. 1
5“ To 2 and compare me, as if we were the same? 1
6Some pour out 2 and weigh silver in the balance. 1 They hire a goldsmith, 2 and he makes it a god. 1 They fall down— 2 yes, they worship. 1
7They 2 They carry it, and set it in its place, and it stands there. 2 It cannot move from its place. 1 Yes, one may cry to it, yet it can not answer. 2 It cannot save him out of his trouble. 1
8“ Remember 2 Bring it to mind again, you transgressors. 1
9Remember 2 for I am God, and there is no other. 2 I am God, and there is none like me. 1
10I 2 and from ancient times things that are not yet done. 1 I say: My counsel will stand, 2 and I will do all that I please. 1
11I 2 the man of my counsel from a far country. 1 Yes, I have spoken. 2 I will also bring it to pass. 1 I have planned. 2 I will also do it. 1
12Listen 2 who are far from righteousness! 1
13I 2 It is not far off, 2 and my salvation will not wait. 1 I will grant salvation to Zion, 2 my glory to Israel.
