1 Bel kneels down,Nebo bends low. Their images weigh down animals and beasts.Your heavy images are burdensome to tired animals.
2 Together they bend low and kneel down;they are unable to rescue the images;they themselves head off into captivity.
3 “Listen to me, O family of Jacob, all you who are left from the family of Israel,you who have been carried from birth,you who have been supported from the time you left the womb.
4 Even when you are old, I will take care of you,even when you have gray hair, I will carry you.I made you and I will support you;I will carry you and rescue you.
5 To whom can you compare and liken me?Tell me whom you think I resemble, so we can be compared!
6 Those who empty out gold from a purseand weigh out silver on the scalehire a metalsmith, who makes it into a god.They then bow down and worship it.
