Isaiah 46
46
1Bel is bowed down, Nebo bendeth; their idols are upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: the things ye carried are laid on, a burden to the weary beast. 2They bend, they are bowed down together; they could not deliver the burden, and themselves are gone into captivity. 3Hearken unto me, house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, ye who have been borne from the belly, who have been carried from the womb: 4Even to old age, I am HE, and unto hoary hairs I will carry you: It is I that have made, and I will bear, and I will carry, and will deliver.
5To whom will ye liken me and make me equal, or compare me, that we may be like? 6— They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance; they hire a goldsmith, and he maketh it a god#godHebrew: el they fall down, yea, they worship. 7They bear him on the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place; there he standeth, he doth not remove from his place: yea, one crieth unto him, and he answereth not; he saveth him not out of his trouble. 8Remember this, and shew yourselves men; call it to mind, ye transgressors. 9Remember the former things of old; for I am ·God#GodHebrew: El and there is none else; I am God#GodHebrew: Elohim and there is none like me; 10declaring 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 pleasure; 11calling a bird of prey from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country. Yea, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it. 12Hearken unto me, ye stout-hearted, that are far from righteousness: 13I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not delay; and I will give salvation in Zion, and unto Israel my glory.

Yeshayah (Isaiah) 46
46
1Bĕl has bowed down, Neḇo is stooping, their idols were on the beasts and on the cattle. That which is carried is burdensome, a burden to the weary.
2They have stooped, they have bowed down together, they were unable to deliver the burden, but they themselves went into captivity.
3“Listen to Me, O house of Ya‛aqoḇ, and all the remnant of the house of Yisra’ĕl, who are borne from the belly, who are carried from the womb:
4even to your old age, I am He, and even to grey hairs I carry! I have made and I bear, and I carry and rescue.
5“To whom do you liken Me, and compare Me and make Me similar, that we should be alike?
6“They pour gold out of the bag, and weigh silver on the scale. They hire a goldsmith, and he makes it a mighty one. They fall down, they also bow themselves.
7“They bear it on the shoulder, they carry it and set it in its place, and it stands – from its place it does not move. Though one cries out to it, it does not answer, nor save him from his distress.
8“Remember this, and show yourselves men; turn it back, you transgressors.
9“Remember the former events of old, for I am Ěl, and there is no one else – Elohim, and there is no one like Me,
10declaring the end from the beginning, and from of old that which has not yet been done, saying, ‘My counsel does stand, and all My delight I do,’
11calling a bird of prey from the east, the man who executes My counsel, from a distant land. Indeed I have spoken it, I also bring it to pass. I have planned it, I also do it.
12“Listen to Me, you stubborn-hearted, who are far from righteousness:
13“I shall bring My righteousness near, it is not far off, and My deliverance, it is not delayed. And I shall give deliverance in Tsiyon, My esteem to Yisra’ĕl.
