KJV Isaiah Chapter 46
1 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|. 2 They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity. 3 Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne |by me| from the belly, which are carried from the womb: 4 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|. 5 To whom will ye liken me, and make |me| equal, and compare me, that we may be like? 6 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. 7 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. 8 Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring |it| again to mind, O ye transgressors. 9 Remember the former things of old: for I |am| God, and |there is| none else; |I am| God, and |there is| none like me, 10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times |the things| that are not |yet| done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: 11 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. 12 Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that |are| far from righteousness: 13 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.
