They prostrate themselves, yes, they worship.

7 aThey bear it on the shoulder, they carry it
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.

From its place it shall not move.
Though bone cries out to it, yet it cannot answer
Nor save him out of his trouble.
9 aRemember the former things of old,
For I am God, and bthere is no other;
I am God, and there is none like Me,
For I am God, and bthere is no other;
I am God, and there is none like Me,
10 aDeclaring the end from the beginning,
And from ancient times things that are not yet done,
Saying, b‘My counsel shall stand,
And I will do all My pleasure,’

Saying, b‘My counsel shall stand,
And I will do all My pleasure,’
11 Calling a bird of prey afrom the east,
The man bwho executes My counsel, from a far country.
Indeed cI have spoken it;
I will also bring it to pass.
I have purposed it;
I will also do it.

My salvation bshall not linger.
And I will place csalvation in Zion,
For Israel My glory.

And I will place csalvation in Zion,
For Israel My glory.
