Chapter 46
Isai LEB 46:1  Bel bows down; Nebo is stooping. Their idols are ⌞on⌟ animals and ⌞on⌟ cattle; your ⌞cargo⌟ is carried as a burden ⌞on⌟ weary animals.
Isai LEB 46:2  They stoop; they bow down together. They are not able to save the burden, but ⌞they themselves go⌟ in captivity.
Isai LEB 46:3  “Listen to me, house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel who have been carried from the belly, who have been carried from the womb:
Isai LEB 46:4  Even to your old age I am he; even to your advanced age I myself will support you. I myself have made you, and I myself will carry you, and I myself will support you, and I will save you.
Isai LEB 46:5  To whom will you liken me, and count as equal, and compare with me, as though we were alike?
Isai LEB 46:6  Those who lavish gold from the purse and weigh out silver in the balance scales; hire ⌞a goldsmith⌟ and he makes him a god; they bow down, indeed they bow in worship.
Isai LEB 46:7  They carry it on their shoulder; they support it and they set it in its place, and it stands in position. It cannot be removed from its place; even when he cries out to it, it does not answer. It does not save him from his trouble.
Isai LEB 46:8  Remember this and pluck up courage! Call to ⌞mind⌟, you transgressors!
Isai LEB 46:9  Remember the former things from ⌞a long time ago⌟, for I am God and there is none besides me, God and there is none like me,
Isai LEB 46:10  who from the beginning declares the end, and from before, things that have not been done, who says, ‘My plan shall stand,’ and, ‘I will accomplish all my wishes,’
Isai LEB 46:11  who calls a bird of prey from the east, the man of his plan from a country from afar. Indeed I have spoken; indeed I will bring it to being. I have formed it; indeed I will do it.
Isai LEB 46:12  Listen to me, strong of heart, far from righteousness!
Isai LEB 46:13  I bring my righteousness near; it is not far. And my salvation will not delay; and I will put salvation in Zion, for Israel my glory.”
