Babylon’s Idols and the True God
1 Bel has bowed down, Nebo stoops over;
Their idols have become loads for the animals and the cattle.
The things 46:1 Lit carried by youthat you carry are burdensome,
A load for the weary animal.
2 They stooped over, they have bowed down together;
They could not rescue the burden,
But 46:2 Or their soul hashave themselves gone into captivity.
3 "Listen to Me, house of Jacob,
And all the remnant of the house of Israel,
You who have been carried by Me from 46:3 Lit the bellybirth
And have been carried from the womb;
4 Even to your old age I 46:4 Lit will be Hewill be the same,
And even to your46:4 Lit gray hairsgraying years I will 46:4 Or supportcarry you!
I have 46:4 Or made youdone it, and I will bear you;
And I will 46:4 Or supportcarry you and I will save you.
