Isaiah 46 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Isa 46:1Bowed down hath Bel, stooping is Nebo, Their idols have been for the beast and for cattle, Your burdens are loaded, a burden to the weary.
Isa 46:2They have stooped, they have bowed together, They have not been able to deliver the burden, And themselves into captivity have gone.
Isa 46:3Hearken unto Me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of Israel, Who are borne from the belly, Who are carried from the womb,
Isa 46:4Even to old age I am He, and to grey hairs I carry, I made, and I bear, yea, I carry and deliver.
Isa 46:5To whom do ye liken Me, and make equal? And compare Me, that we may be like?
Isa 46:6-- They are pouring out gold from a bag, And silver on the beam they weigh, They hire a refiner, and he maketh it a god, They fall down, yea, they bow themselves.
Isa 46:7They lift him up on the shoulder, They carry him, and cause him to rest in his place, And he standeth, from his place he moveth not, Yea, one crieth unto him, and he answereth not, From his adversity he saveth him not.
Isa 46:8Remember this, and shew yourselves men, Turn it back, O transgressors, to the heart.
Isa 46:9Remember former things of old, For I am Mighty, and there is none else, God -- and there is none like Me.
Isa 46:10Declaring from the beginning the latter end, And from of old that which hath not been done, Saying, 'My counsel doth stand, And all My delight I do.'
Isa 46:11Calling from the east a ravenous bird, From a far land the man of My counsel, Yea, I have spoken, yea, I bring it in, I have formed it, yea, I do it.
Isa 46:12Hearken unto Me, ye mighty in heart, Who are far from righteousness.
Isa 46:13I have brought near My righteousness, It is not far off, And My salvation -- it doth not tarry, And I have given in Zion salvation, To Israel My glory!
