The Prophecy
of Isaias 46
Bel is broken, Nebo is destroyed: their idols are put
upon beasts and cattle, your burdens of heavy weight
even unto weariness.
They are consumed, and are broken together: they could
not save him that carried them, and they themselves
shall go into captivity.
Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of
the house of Israel, who are carried by my bowels, are
borne up by my womb.
Even to your old age I am the same, and to your grey
hairs I will carry you: I have made you, and I will
bear: I will carry and will save.
To whom have you likened me, and made me equal, and
compared me, and made me like?
You that contribute gold out of the bag, and weigh out
silver in the scales: and hire a goldsmith to make a
god: and they fall down and worship.
They bear him on their shoulders and carry him, and
set him in his piece, and he shall stand, and shall
not stir out of his place. Yea, when they shall cry
also unto him, he shall not hear: he shall not save
them from tribulation.
Remember this, and be ashamed: return, ye transgressors,
to the heart.
Remember the former age, for I am God, and there is
no God beside, neither is there the like to me:
Who shew from the beginning the things that shall be
at last, and from ancient times the things that as yet
are not done, saying: My counsel shall stand, and all
my will shall be done:
Who call a bird from the east, and from a far country
the man of my own will, and I have spoken, and will
bring it to pass: I have created, and I will do it.
Hear me, O ye hardhearted, who are far from justice.
I have brought my justice near, it shall not be afar
off: and my salvation shall not tarry. I will give salvation
in Sion, and my glory in Israel. |
