Isaiah 46:1-6

English Standard Version ESV

1 Bel bows down; Nebo stoops; their idols are on beasts and livestock; these things you carry are borne as burdens on weary beasts.

2 They stoop; they bow down together; they cannot save the burden, but themselves go into captivity.

3 "Listen to me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been borne by me from before your birth, carried from the womb;

4 even 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?

6 Those 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!
