* Bel boweth down , Nebo stoopeth , their idols were upon the beasts , and upon the cattle : your carriages were heavy loaden ; they are a burden to the weary beast . * They stoop , they bow down together ; they could not deliver the burden , but themselves are gone into captivity . * Hearken unto me , O house of Jacob Ya #aqob #, and all the remnant of the house of Israel Yisra #el #, which are borne by me from the belly , which are carried from the womb : * And even to your old age I am he ; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you : I have made , and I will bear ; even I will carry , and will deliver you . * To whom will ye liken me , and make me equal , and compare me , that we may be like ? * 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 , yea , they worship . * They bear him upon the shoulder , they carry him , and set him in his place , and he standeth ; from his place shall he not remove : yea , one shall cry unto him , yet can he not answer , nor save him out of his trouble . * Remember this , and shew yourselves men : bring it again to mind , O ye transgressors . * Remember the former things of old : for I am God , and there is none else ; I am God , and there is none like me , * Declaring the end from the beginning re #shiyth #, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done , saying , My counsel shall stand , and I will do all my pleasure : * Calling a ravenous bird from the east , the man that executeth my counsel from a far country : yea , I have spoken it , I will also bring it to pass ; I have purposed it , I will also do it . * Hearken unto me , ye stouthearted #H3820 , that are far from righteousness : * I bring near my righteousness ; it shall not be far off , and my salvation shall not tarry : and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory tiph #arah #.
