1. Bel bows down, Nebo stoops,their idols are appointed to the beasts and the cattle.The things that you carry are burdensome;they are a burden to the weary beast.
2. They stoop, they bow down together;they could not deliver the burden,but themselves have gone into captivity.
3. Listen to Me, O house of Jacob,and all the remnant of the house of Israel,who are borne by Me from birthand are carried from the womb:
4. And even to your old age I am He,and even to your graying years I will carry you;I have done it, and I will bear you;even I will carry, and will deliver you.
5. To whom will you liken Me, and make Me equal,and compare Me that we may be alike?
6. They lavish gold out of the bag,and weigh silver on the scales;they hire a goldsmith, and he makes it a god;they fall down and worship it.
