Isaiah 46:1

Context
The Lord Carries His People

46:1 Bel 1  kneels down,

Nebo 2  bends low.

Their images weigh down animals and beasts. 3 

Your heavy images are burdensome to tired animals. 4 

Isaiah 46:7

Context

46:7 They put it on their shoulder and carry it;

they put it in its place and it just stands there;

it does not 5  move from its place.

Even when someone cries out to it, it does not reply;

it does not deliver him from his distress.
