**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.
