Isaiah:46

Isaiah:46:1 @
Bel is bent down ,
Nebo is falling ;
their images are on the beasts and on the cattle :
the things which you took about have become a weight to the tired beast .
bbe @
Isaiah:46:2 @
They are bent down ,
they are falling together :
they were not able to keep their images safe ,
but they themselves have been taken prisoner .
bbe @
Isaiah:46:3 @
Give ear to me ,
O family of Jacob ,
and all the rest of the people of Israel ,
who have been supported by me from their birth ,
and have been my care from their earliest days :
bbe @
Isaiah:46:4 @
Even when you are old I will be the same ,
and when you are grey-haired I will take care of you :
I will still be responsible for what I made ;
yes ,
I will take you and keep you safe .
bbe @
Isaiah:46:5 @
Who in your eyes is my equal ?
or what comparison will you make with me ?
bbe @
Isaiah:46:6 @
As for those who take gold out of a bag ,
and put silver in the scales ,
they give payment to a gold-worker ,
to make it into a god ;
they go down on their faces and give it worship .
bbe @
Isaiah:46:7 @
They put him on their backs ,
and take him up ,
and put him in his fixed place ,
from which he may not be moved ;
if a man gives a cry for help to him ,
he is unable to give an answer ,
or get him out of his trouble .
bbe @
Isaiah:46:8 @
Keep this in mind and be shamed ;
let it come back to your memory ,
you sinners .
bbe @
Isaiah:46:9 @
Let the things which are past come to your memory :
for I am God ,
and there is no other ;
I am God ,
and there is no one like me ;
bbe @
Isaiah:46:10 @
Making clear from the first what is to come ,
and from past times the things which have not so far come about ;
saying ,
My purpose is fixed ,
and I will do all my pleasure ;
bbe @
Isaiah:46:11 @
Sending for a bird of strong flight from the east ,
the man of my purpose from a far country ;
I have said it ,
and I will give effect to it ;
the thing designed by me will certainly be done .
bbe @
Isaiah:46:12 @
Give ear to me ,
you feeble-hearted ,
who have no faith in my righteousness :
bbe @
Isaiah:46:13 @
My righteousness is near ,
it is not far off ;
salvation will come quickly ;
and I will make Zion free ,
and give Israel my glory .
