Isaiah 46

46
The Idols of Babylon
1#Isa 21:9; Jer 50:2 Bel bows down, Nebo stoops,
their idols are appointed to the beasts and the cattle.
The things that you carry are burdensome;
they are a burden to the weary beast.
2#Jdg 18:17–18; 2Sa 5:21 They stoop, they bow down together;
they could not deliver the burden,
but themselves have gone into captivity.
3#Dt 1:31; Ps 71:6 Listen to Me, O house of Jacob,
and all the remnant of the house of Israel,
who are borne by Me from birth
and are carried from the womb:
4#Ps 71:18; Isa 43:13 And even to your old age I am He,
and even to your graying years I will carry you;
I have done it, and I will bear you;
even I will carry, and will deliver you.
5#Isa 40:18; 40:25 To whom will you liken Me, and make Me equal,
and compare Me that we may be alike?
6They lavish gold out of the bag,
and weigh silver on the scales;
they hire a goldsmith, and he makes it a god;
they fall down and worship it.
7#Isa 45:20; Jer 10:5 They lift it on the shoulder, they carry it,
and they set it in its place, and it stands;
from its place it does not move.
If one shall cry to it, it cannot answer
nor save him out of his trouble.
8Remember this, and show yourselves men;
bring it to mind again, O transgressors.
9#Dt 32:7; Isa 42:9 Remember the former things of old,
for I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is no one like Me,
10#Pr 19:21; Ps 33:11 declaring the end from the beginning,
and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying,
“My counsel shall stand,
and I will do all My good pleasure,”
11#Nu 23:19; Isa 41:2 calling a ravenous bird from the east,
the man who executes My counsel from a far country.
Indeed, I have spoken it; I will also bring it to pass.
I have purposed it; I will also do it.
12#Ps 119:150; Isa 46:3 Listen to Me, you stubborn-hearted,
who are far from righteousness;
13#Isa 61:3; 44:23 I bring My righteousness near;
it shall not be far off,
and My salvation shall not tarry.
And I will grant salvation in Zion,
and My glory for Israel.
