Isaiah 46

1 Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth; their idols are upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: the things that ye carried about are made a load, a burden to the weary [beast].

He has bowed down Bel [is] stooping low Nebo they belong idols their to the animal[s] and to the cattle burdens your [are] carried a load for a weary [animal].

2 They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.

They have stooped low they have bowed down together not they have been able to rescue a burden and self their in captivity it has gone.

3 Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which have been borne [by me] from the belly, which have been carried from the womb:

Listen to me O house of Jacob and all [the] remnant of [the] house of Israel who have been carried from [the] belly who have been borne from [the] womb.

4 and even to old age I am he, and even to hoar hairs will I carry [you]: I have made, and I will bear; yea, I will carry, and will deliver.

And until old age I [am] he and until gray hair I I will carry I I made and I I will bear and I I will carry and I may rescue.

5 To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?

To whom? will you liken me and you may make [me] equal? and will you compare? me and we may be alike.

6 Such as lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, they hire a goldsmith, and he maketh it a god; they fall down, yea, they worship.

Those [who] pour out gold from a bag and silver on scale[s] they weigh out they hire a metalsmith and he makes it a god they prostrate themselves also they bow down.

7 They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he not remove: yea, one shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble.

They lift up it on a shoulder they carry it and they set down it in place its so it may stand from place its not it departs also he cries out to it and not it answers from trouble his not it delivers him.

8 Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.

Remember this and pluck up courage bring [it] back O rebels on heart.

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;

Remember former [things] from long ago for I [am] God and there not [is] yet God and there not [is] like me.

10 declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not [yet] done; saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

[one who] declares From [the] beginning [the] end and from antiquity [things] which not they have been done [one who] says purpose my it will be fulfilled and all desire my I will accomplish.

11 calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country; yea, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed, I will also do it.

[one who] calls From [the] east a bird of prey from a land of distance a man of (purpose my *QK) also I have spoken also I will bring it I have planned also I will accomplish it.

12 Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from righteousness:

Listen to me O [people] mighty of heart O [people] distant from righteousness.

13 I bring near my righteousness, it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry; and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory,

I have brought near righteousness my not it is far away and salvation my not it will delay and I will give in Zion salvation to Israel splendor my.
