Isaiah 46

Isa 45.20; Jer 50.2–4 Bel bows down; Nebo stoops;
their idols are on beasts and cattle;
these things you carry are loaded
as burdens on weary animals.

Jer 43.12, 13 They stoop; they bow down together;
they cannot save the burden
but themselves go into captivity.

v 12
; Isa 10.21, 22; 45.19; 63.9Listen to me, O house of Jacob,
all the remnant of the house of Israel,
who have been borne by me from your birth,
carried from the womb;
4 #
Ps 71.18; Isa 43.13 even to your old age I am he;
even when you turn gray I will carry you.
I have made, and I will bear;
I will carry and will save.
5 #
Isa 40.18, 25 To whom will you liken me and make me equal
and compare me, as though we were alike?
6 #
Isa 40.19; 44.15, 17 Those who lavish gold from the purse
and weigh out silver in the scales—
they hire a goldsmith, who makes it into a god;
then they fall down and worship!

v 1
; Isa 40.20; 41.26, 28; 44.17; 45.20They lift it to their shoulders; they carry it;
they set it in its place, and it stands there;
it cannot move from its place.
If one cries out to it, it does not answer
or save anyone from trouble.

Isa 44.19, 21; 48.8 Remember this and consider;#46.8 Meaning of Heb uncertain
recall it to mind, you transgressors;
9 #
Isa 41.26, 27; 45.5, 21 remember the former things of old,
for I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is no one like me,
10 #
Isa 14.24; 45.21; Acts 5.39 declaring the outcome from the beginning
and from ancient times things not yet done,
saying, “My purpose shall stand,
and I will fulfill my intention,”

Isa 18.6; 37.26; 41.2, 25 calling a bird of prey from the east,
the man for my purpose from a far country.
I have spoken, and I will bring it to pass;
I have planned, and I will do it.

v 3
; Isa 48.4; Jer 2.5Listen to me, you stubborn of heart,
you who are far from deliverance:
13 #

and my salvation will not tarry;
I will put salvation in Zion,
for Israel my glory.
