Isaiah 46 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

They stooped ^H7164 over ^H7164, they have bowed ^H3766 down ^H3766 together ^H3162;

They could ^H3201 not rescue ^H4422 the load ^H4853,

But [fn]have themselves ^H5315 gone ^H1980 into captivity ^H7628.

“Hear ^H8085 Me, O house ^H1004 of Jacob ^H3290,

And all ^H3605 the remnant ^H7611 of the house ^H1004 of Israel ^H3478,

You who have been burdening ^H6006 Me from [fn]birth ^H990

And have been carried ^H5375 from the womb ^H7358;

Even to your old ^H2209 age ^H2209 [fn]I will be the same ^H1931,

And even ^H5704 to your [fn]graying ^H7872 years ^H7872 I will bear ^H5445 you!

I have [fn]done ^H6213 it, and I will carry ^H5375 you;

And I will bear ^H5445 you, and I will rescue ^H4422 you.

“To whom ^H4310 would you liken ^H1819 Me

And make ^H7737 Me equal ^H7737 and compare ^H4911 Me,

That we would be ^H1819 alike ^H1819?

“Those who lavish ^H2107 gold ^H2091 from the purse ^H3599

And weigh ^H8254 silver ^H3701 on the scale ^H7070,

They hire ^H7936 a goldsmith ^H6884, and he makes ^H6213 it into a god ^H410;

They fall ^H5456 down ^H5456, indeed ^H637 they worship ^H2331 it.

“They carry ^H5375 it upon the shoulder ^H3802 and bear ^H5445 it;

They set ^H5117 it in ^H8478 its place ^H8478, and it stands ^H5975 there.

It does not move ^H4185 from its place ^H4725.

Though ^H637 one may cry ^H6817 to it, it cannot ^H3808 answer ^H6030;

It cannot ^H3808 save ^H3467 him from his distress ^H6869.

“Remember ^H2142 this ^H2088, and be [fn]assured ^H377;

Cause ^H7725 it to return ^H7725 to your heart ^H3820, you transgressors ^H6586.

“Remember ^H2142 the former ^H7223 things ^H7223 long ^H5769 past ^H5769,

For I am God ^H410, and there ^H369 is ^H369 no ^H369 other ^H5750;

I am God ^H430, and there is no ^H657 one ^H657 like ^H3644 Me,

Declaring ^H5046 the end ^H319 from the beginning ^H7225,

And from ancient ^H6924 times ^H6924 things which ^H834 have not been done ^H6213,

Saying ^H559, ‘My counsel ^H6098 will be established ^H6965,

And I will accomplish ^H6213 all ^H3605 My good ^H2656 pleasure ^H2656’,

Calling ^H7121 a bird ^H5861 of ^H5861 prey ^H5861 from the east ^H4217,

The man ^H376 of [fn]My counsel ^H6098 from a far ^H4801 country ^H776.

Truly ^H637 I have spoken ^H1696; truly ^H637 I will bring ^H935 it to pass ^H935.

I have formed ^H3335 it, surely I will do ^H6213 it.

“Hear ^H8085 Me, you stubborn ^H47 of heart ^H3820,

Who are far ^H7350 from righteousness ^H6666.

“I bring ^H7126 near ^H7126 My righteousness ^H6666, it is ^H7368 not far ^H7368 off ^H7368;

And My salvation ^H8668 will not delay ^H309.

And I will grant ^H5414 salvation ^H8668 in Zion ^H6726,

And My glory ^H8597 for Israel ^H3478.
