Babylon’s Idols and the True God

1Bel has bowed down, Nebo stoops over;

Their idols have become loads for the animals and the cattle.

The things that you carry are burdensome,

A load for the weary animal.

2They stooped over, they have bowed down together;

They could not rescue the burden,

But have 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 birth

And have been carried from the womb;

4Even to your old age I will be the same,

And even to your graying years I will carry you!

I have done it, and I will bear you;

And I will carry you and I will save you.

5“To whom would you liken Me

And make Me equal, and compare Me,

That we would be alike?

6“Those who lavish gold from the bag

And weigh silver on the scale,

Hire a goldsmith, and he makes it into a god;

They bow down, indeed they worship it.
