以賽亞書 46:1 Meaning and Commentary

Ver. 1 Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth
These are names of theIsaiah 46:2

They stoop, they bow together
Either the beasts under their burdens, or other idols besides those mentioned; or rather the Babylonians themselves, who were obliged to submit to the conquerors: they could not deliver the burdens;
the idols could not save themselves from being laid as burdens upon the beasts, any more than they could save their worshippers: so the Targum understands this and the preceding clause of them;

``they are cut off, and cut to pieces together, they could not deliver those that carried them;''
or else the Babylonians are designed, who could not save their gods from being used in this shameful manner: but themselves are gone into captivity,
or "their souls" F13; what were as dear to them as their own souls, their idols; to whom also souls may be ascribed by way of derision, being inanimate as well as irrational; and it is not unusual for idols to be said to be carried captive; hence those words of Tertullian, "manent et simulachra caplira": or rather the Babylonians, who went into captivity themselves, and so could not save their idols: thus they who had led captive the Jews are led captive themselves; and thus it will be with mystical Babylon, ( Revelation 13:10 ) .

以賽亞書 46:1 In-Context

1 彼 勒 屈 身 , 尼 波 彎 腰 ; 巴 比 倫 的 偶 像 馱 在 獸 和 牲 畜 上 。 他 們 所 抬 的 如 今 成 了 重 馱 , 使 牲 畜 疲 乏 ,
2 都 一 同 彎 腰 屈 身 , 不 能 保 全 重 馱 , 自 己 倒 被 擄 去 。
3 雅 各 家 , 以 色 列 家 一 切 餘 剩 的 要 聽 我 言 : 你 們 自 從 生 下 , 就 蒙 我 保 抱 , 自 從 出 胎 , 便 蒙 我 懷 搋 。
4 直 到 你 們 年 老 , 我 仍 這 樣 ; 直 到 你 們 髮 白 , 我 仍 懷 搋 。 我 已 造 作 , 也 必 保 抱 ; 我 必 懷 抱 , 也 必 拯 救 。
5 你 們 將 誰 與 我 相 比 , 與 我 同 等 , 可 以 與 我 比 較 , 使 我 們 相 同 呢 ?
