CHAP. XLVI.
1 The idoles of Babylon could not saue themselues.
3 God saueth his people to the end.
Idoles are not comparable to God for
power, 12 or present saluation.
1
Bel boweth downe, Nebo
stoupeth, their idoles were
vpon the beasts, and vpon
the cattell: your carriages
were heauie loaden, they are
a burden to the wearie beast.
2
They stoupe, they bow downe together,
they could not deliuer the burden,
but note themselues are gone into captiuitie.
3
¶ Hearken vnto me, O house of
Iacob, and al the remnant of the house
of Israel, which are borne by me, from
the belly, which are caried from the
wombe.
4
And euen to your old age I am he,
and euen to hoare haires will I cary
you: I haue made, and I will beare,
euen I wil cary and wil deliuer you.
5
¶ To whom wil ye liken me, and
make me equall, and note compare me, that
we may be like?
6
They lauish gold out of the bagge,
and weigh siluer in the balance, and hire
a goldsmith, and hee maketh it a god:
they fall downe, yea they worship.
7
They beare him vpon the shoulder,
they cary him and set him in his
place, and hee standeth; from his place
shall he not remooue: yea one shall cry
vnto him, yet can he not answere, nor
saue him out of his trouble.
8
Remember this, and shew your
selues men: bring it againe to minde, O
ye transgressours.
9
Remember the former things of
old, for I am God, and there is none else,
I am God, and there is none like me,
10
Declaring the end from the beginning,
and from ancient times the
things that are not yet done, saying,
note My counsell shall stand, and I wil doe
all my pleasure:
11
Calling a rauenous bird from the
Babylons pride.
East, note the man that executeth my counsell
from a farre countrey; yea I haue
spoken it, I will also bring it to passe, I
haue purposed it, I will also doe it.
12
¶ Hearken vnto me, ye stout hearted,
that are farre from righteousnesse.
13
I bring neere my righteousnesse:
it shall not bee farre off, and my saluation
shall not tarie; and I wil place saluation
in Zion for Israel my glorie.
