Isaiah 46
46
CHAPTER 46
1Bel is broken, Nebo is all-broken; their simulacra like to wild beasts and work beasts be broken; your burdens with heavy charge till to weariness were rotten,
2and be all-broken together; those might not save the bearer, and the soul of them shall go into captivity.
3The house of Jacob, and all the residue of the house of Israel, hear ye me, which be borne of my womb, which be borne of my womb.
4Till to eld I myself, and till to hoar hairs, I shall bear; I made, and I shall bear, and I shall save.
5To whom have ye likened me, and made even, and have comparisoned me, and have made like?
6Which bear together gold from the bag, and weigh silver with a balance, and hire a goldsmith to make a god, and they fall down, and worship;
7they bearing bear in shoulders, and setting in his place; and he shall stand, and shall not be moved from his place; but also when they cry to him, he shall not hear, and he shall not save them from tribulation.
8Have ye mind of this, and be ye ashamed; ye trespassers, go again to the heart.
9Bethink ye on the former world, for I am God, no God is over me, neither is like me.
10And I tell from the beginning the last thing, and from the beginning those things that be not made yet; and I say, My counsel shall stand, and all my will shall be done.
11And I call a bird from the east, and the man of my will from a far land; and I spake, and I shall bring that thing; I have made of nought, and I shall make that thing.
12Ye of hard heart, hear me, that be far from rightfulness [or rightwiseness].
13I made nigh mine rightfulness [or rightwiseness], it shall not be drawn afar, and mine health shall not tarry; I shall give health in Zion, and my glory in Israel.

Isaiah 46
46
1Bel bows down, Nebo stoops,
their idols are on beasts and cattle;
these things you carry are loaded
as burdens on weary beasts.
2They stoop, they bow down together,
they cannot save the burden,
but themselves go into captivity.
3“Hearken to me, O house of Jacob,
all the remnant of the house of Israel,
who have been borne by me from your birth,
carried from the womb;
4even to your old age I am He,
and to gray hairs I will carry you.
I have made, and I will bear;
I will carry and will save.
5“To whom will you liken me and make me equal,
and compare me, that we may be alike?
6Those who lavish gold from the purse,
and weigh out silver in the scales,
hire a goldsmith, and he makes it into a god;
then they fall down and worship!
7They lift it upon their shoulders, they carry it,
they set it in its place, and it stands there;
it cannot move from its place.
If one cries to it, it does not answer
or save him from his trouble.
8“Remember this and consider,
recall it to mind, you transgressors,
9remember the former things of old;
for I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like me,
10declaring the end from the beginning
and from ancient times things not yet done,
saying, ‘My counsel shall stand,
and I will accomplish all my purpose,’
11calling a bird of prey from the east,
the man of my counsel from a far country.
I have spoken, and I will bring it to pass;
I have purposed, and I will do it.
12“Hearken to me, you stubborn of heart,
you who are far from deliverance:
13I bring near my deliverance, it is not far off,
and my salvation will not tarry;
I will put salvation in Zion,
for Israel my glory.”
