BelH1078 bowsH3766 down,H3766 NeboH5015 stoops,H7164 their idolsH6091 were on the beasts,H2416 and on the cattle:H929 your carriagesH5385 were heavyH3514 laden;H6006 they are a burdenH4853 to the wearyH5889 beast.
2
They stoop,H7164 they bowH3766 downH3766 together;H3162 they couldH3201 not deliverH4422 the burden,H4853 but themselvesH5315 are goneH1980 into captivity.H7628

ListenH8085 to me, O houseH1004 of Jacob,H3290 and allH3605 the remnantH7611 of the houseH1004 of Israel,H3478 which are borneH6006 by me from the belly,H990 which are carriedH5375 from the womb:H7356
4
And even to your oldH2209 ageH2209 I am he; and even to hoarH7872 hairs will I carryH5445 you: I have made,H6213 and I will bear;H5375 even I will carry,H5445 and will deliverH4422 you.
5
To whomH4310 will you likenH1819 me, and make me equal,H7737 and compareH4911 me, that we may be like?H1819

They lavishH2107 goldH2091 out of the bag,H3599 and weighH8254 silverH3701 in the balance,H7070 and hireH7936 a goldsmith;H6884 and he makesH6213 it a god:H410 they fallH5456 down,H5456 yes,H637 they worship.H7812
7
They bearH5375 him on the shoulder,H3802 they carryH5445 him, and setH3240 him in his place,H8478 and he stands;H5975 from his placeH4725 shall he not remove:H4185 yes,H637 one shall cryH6817 to him, yet can he not answer,H6030 norH3808 saveH3467 him out of his trouble.H6869

RememberH2142 this,H2063 and show yourselves men:H376 bringH7725 it againH7725 to mind,H3820 O you transgressors.H6586
9
RememberH2142 the formerH7223 things of old:H5769 for I am God,H410 and there is noneH369 else;H5750 I am God,H430 and there is noneH657 likeH3644 me,
10
DeclaringH5046 the endH319 from the beginning,H7225 and from ancientH6924 times the things that are not yet done,H6213 saying,H559 My counselH6098 shall stand,H6965 and I will doH6213 allH3605 my pleasure:H2656
11
CallingH7121 a ravenousH5861 birdH5861 from the east,H4217 the manH376 that executes my counselH6098 from a farH4801 country:H776 yes,H637 I have spokenH1696 it, I will alsoH637 bringH935 it to pass; I have purposedH3335 it, I will alsoH637 doH6213 it.
12
ListenH8085 to me, you stouthearted,H47 H3820 that are farH7350 from righteousness:H6666
13
I bringH7126 nearH7126 my righteousness;H6666 it shall not be farH7368 off, and my salvationH8668 shall not tarry:H309 and I will placeH5414 salvationH8668 in ZionH6726 for IsraelH3478 my glory.H8597
