Isaiah 46:1 MSG/NIV - Online Parallel Bible
| The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 1 The god Bel falls down, god Nebo slumps. The no-god hunks of wood are loaded on mules And have to be hauled off, wearing out the poor mules - | 1 Bel bows down, Nebo stoops low; their idols are borne by beasts of burden. The images that are carried about are burdensome, a burden for the weary. |
