Isaiah 46:1-6

The Webster Bible WBT

1 Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your loads [were] heavy; [they were] a burden to the weary [beast].

2 They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves have gone into captivity.

3 Hearken to me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne [by me] from the birth, which are carried from the womb:

4 And [even] to [your] old age I [am] he; and [even] to hoary hairs will I carry [you]: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver [you].

5 To whom will ye liken me, and make [me] equal, and compare me, that we may be like?

6 They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, [and] hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yes, they worship.

5 “With whom will you compare me or count me equal? To whom will you liken me that we may be compared?
