Isaiah 46 Text (WEB)

Bel bows down, Nebo stoops; their idols are on the animals, and on the livestock: the things that you carried about are made a load, a burden to the weary [animal]. They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity. "Listen to me, house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, that have been borne [by me] from their birth, that have been carried from the womb; and even to old age I am he, and even to gray hairs will I carry you. I have made, and I will bear; yes, I will carry, and will deliver. "To whom will you liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like? Some pour out gold from the bag, and weigh silver in the balance. They hire a goldsmith, and he makes it a god. They fall down--yes, they worship. They bear it on the shoulder, they carry it, and set it in its place, and it stands, from its place it shall not move: yes, one may cry to it, yet it can not answer, nor save him out of his trouble. "Remember this, and show yourselves men; bring it again to mind, you transgressors. Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; [I am] God, and there is none like me; declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not [yet] done; saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure; calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country; yes, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed, I will also do it. Listen to me, you stout-hearted, who are far from righteousness: I bring near my righteousness, it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not wait; and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.

Isaiah 46 Text (Hebrew)

כרע בל קרס נבו היו עצביהם לחיה ולבהמה נשאתיכם עמוסות משא לעיפה׃ קרסו כרעו יחדו לא יכלו מלט משא ונפשם בשבי הלכה׃ ס שמעו אלי בית יעקב וכל־שארית בית ישראל העמסים מני־בטן הנשאים מני־רחם׃ ועד־זקנה אני הוא ועד־שיבה אני אסבל אני עשיתי ואני אשא ואני אסבל ואמלט׃ ס למי תדמיוני ותשוו ותמשלוני ונדמה׃ הזלים זהב מכיס וכסף בקנה ישקלו ישכרו צורף ויעשהו אל יסגדו אף־ישתחוו׃ ישאהו על־כתף יסבלהו ויניחהו תחתיו ויעמד ממקומו לא ימיש אף־יצעק אליו ולא יענה מצרתו לא יושיענו׃ ס זכרו־זאת והתאששו השיבו פושעים על־לב׃ זכרו ראשנות מעולם כי אנכי אל ואין עוד אלהים ואפס כמוני׃ מגיד מראשית אחרית ומקדם אשר לא־נעשו אמר עצתי תקום וכל־חפצי אעשה׃ קרא ממזרח עיט מארץ מרחק איש אף־דברתי אף־אביאנה יצרתי אף־אעשנה׃ ס שמעו אלי אבירי לב הרחוקים מצדקה׃ קרבתי צדקתי לא תרחק ותשועתי לא תאחר ונתתי בציון תשועה לישראל תפארתי׃ ס

Isaiah 46 Text (Latin)

Confractus est Bel, contritus est Nabo ; facta sunt simulacra eorum bestiis et jumentis, onera vestra gravi pondere usque ad lassitudinem. Contabuerunt, et contrita sunt simul ; non potuerunt salvare portantem, et anima eorum in captivitatem ibit. Audite me, domus Jacob, et omne residuum domus Israël ; qui portamini a meo utero, qui gestamini a mea vulva. Usque ad senectam ego ipse, et usque ad canos ego portabo ; ego feci, et ego feram ; ego portabo, et salvabo. Cui assimilastis me, et adæquastis, et comparastis me, et fecistis similem ? Qui confertis aurum de sacculo, et argentum statera ponderatis, conducentes aurificem ut faciat deum, et procidunt, et adorant. Portant illum in humeris gestantes, et ponentes in loco suo, et stabit, ac de loco suo non movebitur ; sed et cum clamaverint ad eum, non audiet ; de tribulatione non salvabit eos. Mementote istud, et confundamini ; redite, prævaricatores, ad cor. Recordamini prioris sæculi, quoniam ego sum Deus, et non est ultra Deus nec est similis mei. Annuntians ab exordio novissimum, et ab initio quæ necdum facta sunt, dicens : Consilium meum stabit, et omnis voluntas mea fiet. Vocans ab oriente avem, et de terra longinqua virum voluntatis meæ ; et locutus sum, et adducam illud ; creavi et faciam illud. Audite me, duro corde, qui longe estis a justitia. Prope feci justitiam meam, non elongabitur, et salus mea non morabitur. Dabo in Sion salutem, et in Israël gloriam meam.

Isaiah 46 Text (KJV)

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. They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity. 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: 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. To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like? 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. 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. Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors. Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, 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: 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. Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from righteousness: 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.
