Isaiah 46
1Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages <add>were</add> heavy loaden; <add>they are</add> a burden to the weary <add>beast</add>.2They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.3Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne <add>by me</add> from the belly, which are carried from the womb:4And <add>even</add> to <add>your</add> old age I <add>am</add> he; and <add>even</add> to hoar hairs will I carry <add>you:</add> I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver <add>you</add>.
5To whom will ye liken me, and make <add>me</add> equal, and compare me, that we may be like?6They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, <add>and</add> hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship.7They 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, <add>one</add> shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble.8Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.9Remember the former things of old: for I <add>am</add> God, and <add>there is</add> none else; <add>I am</add> God, and <add>there is</add> none like me,10Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times <add>the things</add> that are not <add>yet</add> done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:11Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken <add>it</add>, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed <add>it</add>, I will also do it.
12Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that <add>are</add> far from righteousness:13I 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.
