Isaiah 46:1-6 (New Living Translation)
View In My Bible
1
The idols of Babylon, Bel and Nebo, are being hauled away on ox carts. But look! The beasts are staggering under the weight!
2
Both the idols and the ones carrying them are bowed down. The gods cannot protect the people, and the people cannot protect the gods. They go off into captivity together.
3
"Listen to me, all you who are left in Israel. I created you and have cared for you since before you were born.
4
I will be your God throughout your lifetime -- until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you.
5
"To whom will you compare me? Who is my equal?
6
Some people pour out their silver and gold and hire a craftsman to make a god from it. Then they bow down and worship it!
