Isaiah 46:1-3

International Standard Version

God is Unique and Eternal

46 “Bel^[a] bows down, Nebo^[b] stoops low.
    Their idols are on beasts, on^[c] livestock.
        Your loads are more burdensome than their reports.^[d]
²They stoop, they bow down together,
    and^[e] they are not able to rescue the burden,
        but they themselves go off^[f] into captivity.

³“Listen^[g] to me, house of Jacob,
and all you remnant of the house of Israel,
who have been upheld from before your birth,
and who have been carried from the womb.
