1. Bel and Nebo bow down.Their idols are carried by animals.The statues are only heavy loads that must be carried.They only make people tired.
2. These false gods will all bow down.They cannot save themselves.They will all be carried away like prisoners.
3. “Family of Jacob, listen to me!All you people from Israel who are still alive, listen!I have carried you since you were born.I have taken care of you from your birth.
4. Even when you are old, I will take care of you.Even when your hair has turned gray, I will take care of you.I made you and will take care of you.I will carry you, and I will save you.
5. “Can you compare me to anyone?No one is equal to me or like me.
