Bel <H1078> boweth down, <H3766> Nebo <H5015> stoopeth, <H7164> their idols <H6091> were upon the beasts, <H2416> and upon the cattle: <H0929> 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 deliver <H4422> the burden, <H4853> but themselves <H5315> are gone <H1980> into captivity. <H7628>
3
Hearken <H8085> unto 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, <H0990> which are carried <H5375> from 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: <H0410> they fall down, <H5456> yea, they worship. <H7812>
7
They bear <H5375> him upon the shoulder, <H3802> they carry <H5445> him, and set him <H3240> in his place, <H8478> and he standeth; <H5975> from his place <H4725> shall he not remove: <H4185> yea, [one] shall cry <H6817> unto him, yet can he not answer, <H6030> nor save <H3467> him out of his trouble. <H6869>
8
Remember <H2142> this, and shew yourselves men: <H0377> 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, <H0410> and [there is] none <H0369> else; <H5750> [I am] God, <H0430> and [there is] none <H0657> like <H3644> me,
10
Declaring <H5046> the end <H0319> from the beginning, <H7225> and from ancient times <H6924> [the things] that are not [yet] done, <H6213> saying, <H0559> My counsel <H6098> shall stand, <H6965> and I will do <H6213> all my pleasure: <H2656>
11
Calling <H7121> a ravenous bird <H5861> from the east, <H4217> the man <H0376> that executeth my counsel <H6098> from a far <H4801> country: <H0776> yea, I have spoken <H1696> [it], I will also bring it to pass; <H0935> I have purposed <H3335> [it], I will also do <H6213> it.
12
Hearken <H8085> unto me, ye stouthearted, <H0047> <H3820> that [are] far <H7350> from righteousness: <H6666>
13
I bring near <H7126> my righteousness; <H6666> it shall not be far off, <H7368> and my salvation <H8668> shall not tarry: <H0309> and I will place <H5414> salvation <H8668> in Zion <H6726> for Israel <H3478> my glory. <H8597>
