46:1 Bel 1078 boweth down 3766 8804, Nebo 5015 stoopeth 7164 8802, their idols 6091 were upon the beasts 2416, and upon the cattle 929: your carriages 5385 [were] heavy loaden 6006 8803; [they are] a burden 4853 to the weary 5889 [beast].

46:2 They stoop 7164 8804, they bow down 3766 8804 together 3162; they could 3201 8804 not deliver 4422 8763 the burden 4853, but themselves 5315 are gone 1980 8804 into captivity 7628.(themselves: Heb. their soul)

46:3 Hearken 8085 8798 unto me, O house 1004 of Jacob 3290, and all the remnant 7611 of the house 1004 of Israel 3478, which are borne 6006 8803 [by me] from the belly 990, which are carried 5375 8803 from the womb 7356:

46:4 And [even] to [your] old age 2209 I [am] he; and [even] to hoar hairs 7872 will I carry 5445 8799 [you]: I have made 6213 8804, and I will bear 5375 8799; even I will carry 5445 8799, and will deliver 4422 8762 [you].

46:5 To whom will ye liken 1819 8762 me, and make [me] equal 7737 8686, and compare 4911 8686 me, that we may be like 1819 8799?

46:6 They lavish 2107 8801 gold 2091 out of the bag 3599, and weigh 8254 8799 silver 3701 in the balance 7070, [and] hire 7936 8799 a goldsmith 6884 8802; and he maketh 6213 8799 it a god 410: they fall down 5456 8799, yea, they worship 7812 8691.

46:7 They bear 5375 8799 him upon the shoulder 3802, they carry 5445 8799 him, and set him in his place 3240 8686, and he standeth 5975 8799; from his place 4725 shall he not remove 4185 8686: yea, [one] shall cry 6817 8799 unto him, yet can he not answer 6030 8799, nor save 3467 8686 him out of his trouble 6869.

46:8 Remember 2142 8798 this, and shew yourselves men 377 8695: bring [it] again 7725 8685 to mind 3820, O ye transgressors 6586 8802.

46:9 Remember 2142 8798 the former things 7223 of old 5769: for I [am] God 410, and [there is] none else; [I am] God 430, and [there is] none 657 like 3644 me,

46:10 Declaring 5046 8688 the end 319 from the beginning 7225, and from ancient times 6924 [the things] that are not [yet] done 6213 8738, saying 559 8802, My counsel 6098 shall stand 6965 8799, and I will do 6213 8799 all my pleasure 2656:

46:11 Calling 7121 8802 a ravenous bird 5861 from the east 4217, the man 376 that executeth my counsel 6098 from a far 4801 country 776: yea, I have spoken 1696 8765 [it], I will also bring 935 8686 it to pass; I have purposed 3335 8804 [it], I will also do 6213 8799 it.(that…: Heb. of my counsel)

46:12 Hearken 8085 8798 unto me, ye stouthearted 47 3820, that [are] far from 7350 righteousness 6666:

46:13 I bring near 7126 8765 my righteousness 6666; it shall not be far off 7368 8799, and my salvation 8668 shall not tarry 309 8762: and I will place 5414 8804 salvation 8668 in Zion 6726 for Israel 3478 my glory 8597.
