Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

XLVI. 1 Bel croucheth down, Nebo stoopeth; their idols are for beast and cattle; the things ye carried are borne heavily, a burden to the weary.

[*](23. ‘a word, c.’: or, ‘Righteousness is gone forth from my mouth, a and it shall not,’)[*](24. Or, ‘Only in the Lord, saith one to me, is there righteousness,’)

250

2 They stoop, they crouch together; they cannot deliver the burden, their soul is gone into captivity.

3 Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel: which are heavily borne from the womb, which are carried from the bosom:

4 And to old age I am he, and to grey hairs I will support; I have made, and I will carry; and I will support, and will deliver you.

5 To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, and we shall be like?
