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!
