Isaiah 46:1-5

46:1

Bel
<01078>

boweth down
<03766> (8804)_,

Nebo
<05015>

stoopeth
<07164> (8802)_,

their idols
<06091>

were upon the beasts
<02416>_,

and upon the cattle
<0929>_:

your carriages
<05385>

[were] heavy loaden
<06006> (8803)_;

[they are] a burden
<04853>

to the weary
<05889>

[beast].

46:2

They stoop
<07164> (8804)_,

they bow down
<03766> (8804)

together
<03162>_;

they could
<03201> (8804)

not deliver
<04422> (8763)

the burden
<04853>_,

but themselves
<05315>

are gone
<01980> (8804)

into captivity
<07628>_.

{themselves: Heb. their soul}

46:3

Hearken
<08085> (8798)

unto me, O house
<01004>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

and all the remnant
<07611>

of the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

which are borne
<06006> (8803)

[by me] from the belly
<0990>_,

which are carried
<05375> (8803)

from the womb
<07356>_:

46:4

And [even] to [your] old age
<02209>

I [am] he; and [even] to hoar hairs
<07872>

will I carry
<05445> (8799)

[you]: I have made
<06213> (8804)_,

and I will bear
<05375> (8799)_;

even I will carry
<05445> (8799)_,

and will deliver
<04422> (8762)

[you].

46:5

To whom will ye liken
<01819> (8762)

me, and make [me] equal
<07737> (8686)_,

and compare
<04911> (8686)

me, that we may be like
<01819> (8799)_?
