Isaiah 46:2

2 They have stooped, they have bowed together, They have not been able to deliver the burden, And themselves into captivity have gone.

Isaiah 46:2 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 46:16

And Obadiah the son of Shemaiah
Called Abda the son of Shammua, ( Nehemiah 11:17 )

the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun;
who was Ethan, another of the singers in the time of David:

and Berechiah the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, that dwelt in the
villages of the Netophathites;
the villages about Netophah, which was in the tribe of Judah, ( 1 Chronicles 2:54 ) , ( Nehemiah 7:26 ) which may be understood either of Elkanah, the ancestor of Berechiah, whose dwelling was there; or of Berechiah, and must be rendered,

who had dwelt there;
for now he dwelt at Jerusalem.

Isaiah 46:2 In-Context

1 Bowed down hath Bel, stooping is Nebo, Their idols have been for the beast and for cattle, Your burdens are loaded, a burden to the weary.

2 They have stooped, they have bowed together, They have not been able to deliver the burden, And themselves into captivity have gone.

3 Hearken unto Me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of Israel, Who are borne from the belly, Who are carried from the womb,

4 Even to old age I [am] He, and to grey hairs I carry, I made, and I bear, yea, I carry and deliver.

5 To whom do ye liken Me, and make equal? And compare Me, that we may be like?
