Isaiah 46

Babylon’s Idols

1Bel bows down;

Their idols are on animals and on cattle;

2They stoop;

They are not able to save the burden,

3“Listen to me, house of Jacob,

who have been carried from the belly,

4Even to your old age I am he;[#Or “And”]

I myself have made you,

and I myself will support you,

5To whom will you liken me,

and compare with me,

6Those who lavish gold from the purse

hire a goldsmith

they bow down,

7They carry it on their shoulder;

and it stands in position.

even when he cries out to it, it does not answer.

8Remember this and pluck up courage!

for I am God and there is none besides me,

10who from the beginning declares the end,

who says, ‘My plan shall stand,’

11who calls a bird of prey from the east,

Indeed I have spoken; indeed I will bring it to being.

12Listen to me, strong of heart,

13I bring my righteousness near; it is not far.

and I will put salvation in Zion,
