The Book of
Isaiah
Chapter 46
Isaiah 46:1 Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their
idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages were heavy
loaden; they are a burden to the weary beast.
2 They stoop, they bow down together; they could
not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.
3 Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the
remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which
are carried from the womb:
4 And even to your old age I am he; and even to
hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will
carry, and will deliver you.
5 To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal,
and compare me, that we may be like?
6 They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver
in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall
down, yea, they worship.
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.
8 Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring
it again to mind, O ye transgressors.
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,
10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from
ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall
stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man
that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I
will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
12 Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far
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.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
