Isaiah 以赛亚书46

46Bel bows down, Nebo stoops low; their idols¹ are borne by beasts of burden. The images that are carried about are burdensome, a burden for the weary.
2They stoop and bow down together; unable to rescue the burden, they themselves go off into captivity².
3"Listen to me, O house of Jacob, all you who remain of the house of Israel, you whom I have upheld since you were conceived, and have carried since your birth.
4Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.
5"To whom will you compare me or count me equal? To whom will you liken me that we may be compared?
6Some pour out gold from their bags and weigh out silver on the scales; they hire a goldsmith to make it into a god, and they bow down and worship it.
7They lift it to their shoulders and carry it; they set it up in its place, and there it stands. From that spot it cannot move. Though one cries out to it, it does not answer; it cannot save him from his troubles.
8"Remember this, fix it in mind, take it to heart, you rebels.
9Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me.
10I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.
11From the east I summon a bird of prey³; from a far-off land, a man to fulfill⁴ my purpose. What I have said, that will I bring about; what I have planned, that will I do.
12Listen to me, you stubborn-hearted, you who are far from righteousness.
13I am bringing my righteousness near, it is not far away; and my salvation⁵ will not be delayed. I will grant salvation to Zion, my splendor⁶ to Israel.
