Isaiah 46:1-3
Good News Translation

46 “This is the end for Babylon's gods!
    Bel and Nebo once were worshiped,
    but now they are loaded on donkeys,
    a burden for the backs of tired animals.
2     The idols cannot save themselves;
    they are captured and carried away.
This is the end for Babylon's gods!

3 “Listen to me, descendants of Jacob,
    all who are left of my people.
I have cared for you from the time you were born.

Isaiah 46:1-3
New International Version

Gods of Babylon

46 Bel(A) bows down, Nebo stoops low;
    their idols(B) are borne by beasts of burden.[a]
The images that are carried(C) about are burdensome,
    a burden for the weary.
2 They stoop and bow down together;
    unable to rescue the burden,
    they themselves go off into captivity.(D)

3 “Listen(E) to me, you descendants of Jacob,
    all the remnant(F) of the people of Israel,
you whom I have upheld since your birth,(G)
    and have carried(H) since you were born.(I)
