1 # Bel <01078> boweth down <03766> (8804), Nebo <05015> stoopeth <07164> (8802), their idols <06091> were upon the beasts <02416>, and upon the cattle <0929>: your carriages <05385> were heavy loaden <06006> (8803); they are a burden <04853> to the weary <05889> beast.
2 They stoop <07164> (8804), they bow down <03766> (8804) together <03162>; they could <03201> (8804) not deliver <04422> (8763) the burden <04853>, but themselves <05315> are gone <01980> (8804) into captivity <07628>.
3 Hearken <08085> (8798) unto me, O house <01004> of Jacob <03290>, and all the remnant <07611> of the house <01004> of Israel <03478>, which are borne <06006> (8803) by me from the belly <0990>, which are carried <05375> (8803) from the womb <07356>:
4 And even to your old age <02209> I am he; and even to hoar hairs <07872> will I carry <05445> (8799) you: I have made <06213> (8804), and I will bear <05375> (8799); even I will carry <05445> (8799), and will deliver <04422> (8762) you.
5 # To whom will ye liken <01819> (8762) me, and make me equal <07737> (8686), and compare <04911> (8686) me, that we may be like <01819> (8799)?
6 They lavish <02107> (8801) gold <02091> out of the bag <03599>, and weigh <08254> (8799) silver <03701> in the balance <07070>, and hire <07936> (8799) a goldsmith <06884> (8802); and he maketh <06213> (8799) it a god <0410>: they fall down <05456> (8799), yea, they worship <07812> (8691).
7 They bear <05375> (8799) him upon the shoulder <03802>, they carry <05445> (8799) him, and set him in his place <03240> (8686), and he standeth <05975> (8799); from his place <04725> shall he not remove <04185> (8686): yea, one shall cry <06817> (8799) unto him, yet can he not answer <06030> (8799), nor save <03467> (8686) him out of his trouble <06869>.
8 Remember <02142> (8798) this, and shew yourselves men <0377> (8695): bring it again <07725> (8685) to mind <03820>, O ye transgressors <06586> (8802).
9 Remember <02142> (8798) the former things <07223> of old <05769>: for I am God <0410>, and there is none else; I am God <0430>, and there is none <0657> like <03644> me,
10 Declaring <05046> (8688) the end <0319> from the beginning <07225>, and from ancient times <06924> the things that are not yet done <06213> (8738), saying <0559> (8802), My counsel <06098> shall stand <06965> (8799) , and I will do <06213> (8799) all my pleasure <02656>:
11 Calling <07121> (8802) a ravenous bird <05861> from the east <04217>, the man <0376> that executeth my counsel <06098> from a far <04801> country <0776>: yea, I have spoken <01696> (8765) it, I will also bring <0935> (8686) it to pass; I have purposed <03335> (8804) it, I will also do <06213> (8799) it.
12 Hearken <08085> (8798) unto me, ye stouthearted <047> <03820>, that are far from <07350> righteousness <06666>:
13 I bring near <07126> (8765) my righteousness <06666>; it shall not be far off <07368> (8799), and my salvation <08668> shall not tarry <0309> (8762): and I will place <05414> (8804) salvation <08668> in Zion <06726> for Israel <03478> my glory <08597>.
