Isaiah:46
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Bel has bowed ;
Nebo stoops ;
their idols are for the beast ,
and for the cattle ;
your things carried are loads ;
a burden for the weary .
*
They stoop ;
they bow together ;
they are not able to deliver the burden ;
and their soul has gone into captivity .
*
Listen to me ,
O house of Jacob ,
and all the remnant of the house of Israel ;
who are borne from the belly ,
who are lifted from the womb :
*
Even to old age I am He ;
and I will bear to gray hair ;
I made ,
and I will carry ;
and I will bear and deliver .
*
To whom will you compare and make Me equal ;
yea ,
compare Me ,
that we may be alike ?
*
Those who lavish gold out of the bag ,
and weigh silver on the measuring rod ;
they hire a refiner and he makes it a god .
They fall down ;
yea ,
they worship .
*
They carry it on the shoulder ;
they bear it and set it in its place ,
and it stands ;
it shall not move from its place .
Yes ,
he cries to it ,
but it does not answer ,
it does not save him from his distress .
*
Remember this and be a man ;
return it on your heart ,
transgressors .
*
Remember former things from forever ,
for I am God ,
and no one else is God ,
even none like Me ,
*
declaring the end from the beginning ,
and from the past those things which were not done ,
saying ,
My purpose shall rise ;
and ,
I will do all My desire ;
*
calling a bird of prey from the sunrise ,
the man of My counsel from a far off land .
Yes ,
I have spoken ;
yes ,
I will cause it to come ;
I have formed ;
yes ,
I will do it .
*
Listen to Me ,
mighty ones of heart who are far from righteousness :
*
I bring near My righteousness ;
it shall not be far off ,
and My salvation shall not wait ;
I will place salvation in Zion ,
My glory for Israel .
