V.1 Bel 1078 boweth down, 3766-1 Nebo 5015 stoopeth, 7164-6 their idols 6091 were upon the beasts, 2416 and upon the cattle: 929 your carriages 5385 [were] heavy loaden; 6006-7 [they are] a burden 4853 to the weary 5889 [beast].

46:2 They stoop, 7164-1 they bow down 3766-1 together; 3162 they could 3201-1 not deliver 4422-15 the burden, 4853 but themselves 5315 are gone 1980-1 into captivity. 7628

46:3 Hearken 8085-3 unto me, O house 1004 of Jacob, 3290 and all the remnant 7611 of the house 1004 of Israel, 3478 which are borne 6006-7 [by me] from the belly, 990 which are carried 5375-7 from the womb: 7356

46:4 And [even] to [your] old age 2209 I [am] he; and [even] to hoar hairs 7872 will I carry 5445-4 [you]: I have made, 6213-1 and I will bear; 5375-4 even I will carry, 5445-4 and will deliver 4422-17 [you].

46:5 To whom will ye liken 1819-17 me, and make [me] equal, 7737-55 and compare 4911-55 me, that we may be like? 1819-4

46:6 They lavish 2107-5 gold 2091 out of the bag, 3599 and weigh 8254-4 silver 3701 in the balance, 7070 [and] hire 7936-4 a goldsmith; 6884-6 and he maketh 6213-4 it a god: 410 they fall down, 5456-4 yea, they worship. 7812-101

46:7 They bear 5375-4 him upon the shoulder, 3802 they carry 5445-4 him, and set him 3240-55 in his place, 8478 and he standeth; 5975-4 from his place 4725 shall he not remove: 4185-55 yea, [one] shall cry 6817-4 unto him, yet can he not answer, 6030-4 nor save 3467-55 him out of his trouble. 6869

46:8 Remember 2142-3 this, and shew yourselves men: 377-103 bring [it] again 7725-54 to mind, 3820 O ye transgressors. 6586-6

46:9 Remember 2142-3 the former things 7223 of old: 5769 for I [am] God, 410 and [there is] none 369 else; 5750 [I am] God, 430 and [there is] none 657 like 3644 me,

46:10 Declaring 5046-56 the end 319 from the beginning, 7225 and from ancient times 6924 [the things] that are not [yet] done, 6213-8 saying, 559-6 My counsel 6098 shall stand, 6965- 4 and I will do 6213-4 all my pleasure: 2656

46:11 Calling 7121-6 a ravenous bird 5861 from the east, 4217 the man 376 that executeth my counsel 6098 from a far 4801 country: 776 yea, I have spoken 1696-14 [it], I will also bring it to pass; 935-55 I have purposed 3335-1 [it], I will also do 6213-4 it.

46:12 Hearken 8085-3 unto me, ye stouthearted, 47 3820 that [are] far 7350 from righteousness: 6666
