  1. Isaiah 46:1 Lit carried by you

Those who (A)lavish gold from the bag
And weigh silver on the scale,
Hire a goldsmith, and he makes it into a god;
They (B)bow down, indeed they worship it.
They (C)lift it on the shoulder, carry it,
And set it in its place, and it stands there.
(D)It does not move from its place.
Though one may shout to it, it (E)cannot answer;
It (F)cannot save him from his distress.
