And even to gray hairs bI will carry you!
I have made, and I will bear;
Even I will carry, and will deliver you.
And weigh silver on the scales;
They hire a bgoldsmith, and he makes it a god;
They prostrate themselves, yes, they worship.
And set it in its place, and it stands;
From its place it shall not move.
Though bone cries out to it, yet it cannot answer
Nor save him out of his trouble.
For I am God, and bthere is no other;
I am God, and there is none like Me,
And from ancient times things that are not yet done,
Saying, b‘My counsel shall stand,
And I will do all My pleasure,’
| << Isaiah 46:5 | Isaiah 46:7 >> |
