Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

25 In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be held righteous, and boast themselves.

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?

6 They that pour forth gold from the bag, and weigh silver with the balance; they hire a goldsmith, and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they bow themselves.

7 They lift him upon the shoulder; they support him, they set him in his place, and he standeth; he moveth not from his place; yea, one shall cry unto him, and he shall not answer, he shall not save him from his distress,
