Isaiah 46

CHAPTER 46 The Idols are Fallen

1 Bel fell, Dagon was broken. [²became ¹Their carved images] for the wild beasts; and cattle lift them being bound for a load, tiring, fainting, 2 and hungering, not being able together; the ones who are not able to be delivered from war; but they themselves [²as captives ¹are led away]. 3 Hear me, O house of Jacob, and all the rest of Israel! O ones being lifted from the belly, and being corrected from childhood 4 until old age; I am, and until whenever you should become aged, I am. I endure you. I made, and I shall spare. I shall take up and I shall deliver you. 5 To whom do you liken me? Behold cunningly contrive, O misleading ones! 6 And the ones uniting in gold from a money bag, and silver in a yoke balance scale shall establish by weight; and ones hiring a goldsmith made handmade idols, and bowing they do obeisance to it. 7 They lift it upon the shoulder, and they go. And if they put it upon its place, it remains. In no way shall it move, and who ever should yell to it, in no way shall it listen; [⁴from ⁵hurt ¹in no way ²shall it deliver ³him].

God's Counsel Will Stand

8 Remember these things and moan! Change your mind, O ones being misled! Turn in heart! 9 Remember the things prior from the eon! For I am God, and there is no other besides me; 10 announcing formerly the last things before their taking place, and are completed. And I said, All my counsel will stand, and all as much as I have planned I will do; 11 calling [²from ³the east ¹the winged creature], and from a land at a distance, for the things which I have planned. And indeed I spoke, and indeed I led. I created and I did. I led him, and I prospered his way. 12 Hear me, O ones destroying the heart! O ones far from righteousness. 13 I brought near my righteousness, in no way is it at a distance, and the deliverance the one by me, I will not be slow about; I have appointed in Zion deliverance to Israel for glory.
