[1] Bel bows down.
Nebo stoops.
Their idols are carried by animals,
and on the livestock.
The things that you carried around are heavy loads,
a burden for the weary.
[2] They stoop and they bow down together.
They could not deliver the burden,
but they have gone into captivity. [3] “Listen to me, house of Jacob,
and all the remnant of the house of Israel,
that have been carried from their birth,
that have been carried from the womb.
[4] Even to old age I am he,
and even to gray hairs I will carry you.
I have made, and I will bear.
Yes, I will carry, and will deliver. [5] “To whom will you compare me, and consider my equal,
and compare me, as if we were the same?
[6] Some pour out gold from the bag,
and weigh silver in the balance.
They hire a goldsmith,
and he makes it a god.
They fall down—
yes, they worship.
[7] They bear it on their shoulder.
They carry it, and set it in its place, and it stands there.
It cannot move from its place.
Yes, one may cry to it, yet it can not answer.
It cannot save him out of his trouble. [8] “Remember this, and show yourselves men.
Bring it to mind again, you transgressors.
[9] Remember the former things of old;
for I am God, and there is no other.
I am God, and there is none like me.
[10] I declare the end from the beginning,
and from ancient times things that are not yet done.
I say: My counsel will stand,
and I will do all that I please.
[11] I call a ravenous bird from the east,
the man of my counsel from a far country.
Yes, I have spoken.
I will also bring it to pass.
I have planned.
I will also do it. [12] Listen to me, you stubborn-hearted,
who are far from righteousness!
[13] I bring my righteousness near.
It is not far off,
and my salvation will not wait.
I will grant salvation to Zion,
my glory to Israel.

Gods of Babylon

[1] Bel H1078 boweth down, H3766 Nebo H5015 stoopeth, H7164 their idols H6091 were upon the beasts, H2416 and upon the cattle: H929 your carriages H5385 were heavy loaden; H6006 they are a burden H4853 to the weary H5889 beast. [2] They stoop, H7164 they bow down H3766 together; H3162 they could H3201 not H3808 deliver H4422 the burden, H4853 but themselves H5315§ are gone H1980 into captivity. H7628 [3] Hearken H8085 unto H413 me, O house H1004 of Jacob, H3290 and all the remnant H7611 of the house H1004 of Israel, H3478 which are borne H6006 by me from the belly, H990 which are carried H5375 from H4480 the womb: H7356 [4] and even to your old age H2209 I am he; and even to hoar hairs H7872 will I carry H5445 you: I have made, H6213 and I will bear; H5375 even I will carry, H5445 and will deliver H4422 you. [5] To whom will ye liken H1819 me, and make me equal, H7737 and compare H4911 me, that we may be like? H1819 [6] They lavish H2107 gold H2091 out of the bag, H3599 and weigh H8254 silver H3701 in the balance, H7070 and hire H7936 a goldsmith; H6884 and he maketh H6213 it a god: H410 they fall down, H5456 yea, they worship. H7812 [7] They bear H5375 him upon the shoulder, H3802 they carry H5445 him, and set him in his place, H3240 and he standeth; H5975 from his place H4725 shall he not remove: H4185 yea, one shall cry H6817 unto H413 him, yet can he not answer, H6030 nor save H3467 him out of his trouble. H6869 [8] Remember H2142 this, and shew yourselves men: H377 bring it again H7725 to mind, H3820 O ye transgressors. H6586 [9] Remember H2142 the former things H7223 of old: H5769 for I am God, H410 and there is none else; I am God, H430 and there is none H657 like H3644 me, [10] declaring H5046 the end H319 from the beginning, H7225 and from ancient times H6924 the things that are not yet done, H6213 saying, H559 My counsel H6098 shall stand, H6965 and I will do H6213 all H3605 my pleasure: H2656 [11] calling H7121 a ravenous bird H5861 from the east, H4217 the man H376 that executeth my counsel H6098§ from a far H4801 country: H776 yea, I have spoken H1696 it, I will also bring H935 it to pass; I have purposed H3335 it, I will also do H6213 it. [12] Hearken H8085 unto H413 me, ye stouthearted, H47 H3820 that are far from H7350 righteousness: H6666 [13] I bring near H7126 my righteousness; H6666 it shall H7368 not H3808 be far off, H7368 and my salvation H8668 shall H309 not H3808 tarry: H309 and I will place H5414 salvation H8668 in Zion H6726 for Israel H3478 my glory.
