¶ The .xlvi. Chapter. ¶ Idolatrye is reproued. The health that commeth by Chryst is prophecyed.

A   Bell note is fall&ebar;, Nabo is brok&ebar; downe: whose ymages were a burthen for the beastes and catell, to ouerlade them, and to make them weery. They are soncke downe, and fallen together: for they maye not ease them of theyr burth&ebar;, therfore must they go into captiuitie.

Herken vnto me, O house of Iacob, and all ye that remayne yet of the housholde of Israel: B   whom I haue borne from youre mothers wombe, and brought you vp fr&obar; youre byrth, tyll ye were grow&ebar;. I, I, which shall beare you vnto youre last age. I haue made you, I wyll also norysh you, beare you and saue you. noteWhom wyll ye make me lyke or to whom wyll ye make me equall or c&obar;pare me that I shulde be lyke hym, in fashyon or ymage, that I maye be lyke him? noteYe fooles (no doute) wyll take out syluer ∧ golde oute of youre purses, and wepe it, ∧ hyre a goldsmyth to make a God of it, that men maye knele downe and worshyppe it. note C   Yet must he be tak&ebar; on mennes shoulders ∧ borne, and set in his place, that he maye stande and not moue out of his place.

Consydre this well, and be ashamed. Go into youre awne selues (O ye runnagates.) Rem&ebar;bre the thynges which are past, sence þe; begynninge of the worlde: that I am God ∧ that there is els no God, yee, ∧ that there is nothinge, lyke vnto me. In the begynnynge of a thynge. I shewe the ende therof: ∧ I tell before, th&ibar;ges that are not yet come to passe. My deuice stondeth, stedfastly stablyshed, ∧ I fulfyll all my pleasure. noteI call a byrde out of the East, ∧ the m&abar; by wh&obar; my co&ubar;cell shall be fulfylled out of farre co&ubar;trees, as soone as I thyncke to deuise a thynge, I do it.

Heare me, O ye þt; are of an hye stomacke, but farre from ryghteousnesse, I shall bringe forth my ryghteousnes. It is not farre, ∧ my health shall not tary l&obar;ge awaye. I wyll laye health in Sion, and in Israel my glory.
