Isaiah 46:1
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 46
The Gods of Babylon
1 Bel bows down, Nebo[a] stoops,
their idols set upon beasts and cattle;
They must be borne upon shoulders,
a load for weary animals.
Footnotes
- 46:1–4 Bel…Nebo: gods of Babylon; their complete helplessness is here contrasted with God’s omnipotence; whereas they must be carried about, the Lord carries Israel as a parent does a child.
