Isaiah 46:1
1 The idols of Babylon could not save themselves.3 God saves his people to the end.5 Idols are not comparable to God for power,12 or present salvation. Bel.Bel, called Belus by the Greek and Roman writers, is the same as Baal; and Nebo is interpreted by Castell and Norberg of Mercury; the two principal idols of Babylon. When that city was taken by the Persians, these images were carried in triumph. 21:9; 41:6,7; Ex 12:12; 1Sa 5:3; Jer 48:1-25; 50:2; 51:44,47,52a burden.2:20; Jer 10:5
