Isaiah 46:1-3
Tree of Life Version

Idols a Weary Burden

46 Bel bows down; Nebo stoops over.
Their idols are for beasts and cattle.
The things you carry are borne
    as burdens on weary beasts.
2 They stoop, they bow down together,
they cannot save the burden,
but themselves go into captivity.
3 “Listen to Me, house of Jacob,
all the remnant of the house of Israel,
    borne by Me from birth,
    carried from the womb.

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)
