Dead Idols and the Living God
1 Bel abows down, Nebo stoops;
Their idols were on the beasts and on the cattle.
Your carriages were heavily loaded,
bA burden to the weary beast.
Their idols were on the beasts and on the cattle.
Your carriages were heavily loaded,
bA burden to the weary beast.
2 They stoop, they bow down together;
They could not deliver the burden,
aBut have themselves gone into captivity.
They could not deliver the burden,
aBut have themselves gone into captivity.
3 “Listen to Me, O house of Jacob,
And all the remnant of the house of Israel,
aWho have been upheld by Me from1 birth,
Who have been carried from the womb:
And all the remnant of the house of Israel,
aWho have been upheld by Me from1 birth,
Who have been carried from the womb:
4 Even to your old age, aI am He,
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 even to gray hairs bI will carry you!
I have made, and I will bear;
Even I will carry, and will deliver you.
