1 The god Bel bows down; the god Nebo stoops low.Their statues are seated on animals and cattle.The gods that you carry are burdens, a load for weary people.
2 These gods stoop low and bow down together.They aren’t able to escape with heavy loads.They go away into captivity.
3 Listen to me, descendants of Jacob,the few people left of the nation of Israel.I’ve carried you since your birth.I’ve taken care of you from the time you were born.
4 Even when you’re old, I’ll take care of you.Even when your hair turns gray, I’ll support you.I made you and will continue to care for you.I’ll support you and save you.
