1 “This is the end for Babylon's gods!Bel and Nebo once were worshipped,but now they are loaded on donkeys,a burden for the backs of tired animals.
2 The idols cannot save themselves;they are captured and carried away.This is the end for Babylon's gods!
3 “Listen to me, descendants of Jacob,all who are left of my people.I have cared for you from the time you were born.

5 “With whom will you compare me?” says the Lord.“Is there anyone else like me?
