YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Bel crouches;
Nebo cowers.
Their idols weigh
down
beasts
and cattle .
The
images
you
carry
are burdensome
, a load
to the weary animal
.
Bowed
down
hath
Bel ,
stooping
is
Nebo ,
Their idols have
been
for
the
beast
and for
cattle ,
Your
burdens
are loaded
, a burden
to the weary.
The
gods
cower;
they crouch
together, unable
to relieve
the burden ;
but
they
themselves go
into captivity.
They have
stooped,
they
have
bowed
together, They
have
not
been
able
to deliver
the burden ,
And
themselves into captivity have
gone
.
“Listen
to
Me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the
house
of
Israel, who have
been
sustained
from the womb
, carried along
since
birth.
Hearken
unto
Me, O house of Jacob, And
all the remnant of Israel, Who are
borne
from the belly
, Who
are
carried from
the
womb,
Even to your
old age ,
I will
be
the
same
, and I will
bear
you
up
when
you
turn
gray.
I have
made you
, and I will
carry
you;
I will
sustain
you
and deliver you
.
Even to old age I `am'
He
, and to
grey
hairs
I carry,
I made, and I bear,
yea,
I carry
and deliver.
To whom will
you
liken Me or
count
Me
equal? To
whom
will
you
compare Me, that we should
be alike
?
To whom do
ye
liken Me ,
and
make
equal? And
compare Me, that we may
be like
?
They pour
out their
bags
of
gold and weigh
out
silver on scales;
they hire a goldsmith
to
fashion
it into
a god, so
they can
bow
down and
worship
.
--
They are
pouring
out gold from
a
bag,
And silver on the
beam
they weigh,
They
hire a refiner,
and
he
maketh
it a god, They fall
down ,
yea,
they
bow
themselves
.
They lift it
to
their
shoulder and
carry
it
along;
they set
it
in its
place, and there
it
stands
, not
budging
from that
spot.
They
cry
out
to
it,
but
it
does
not answer;
it
saves
no
one from his troubles
.
They lift him
up
on
the
shoulder ,
They carry
him,
and
cause
him
to
rest
in his
place, And he
standeth
, from his
place
he
moveth
not ,
Yea,
one crieth
unto
him,
and
he
answereth
not,
From his adversity
he
saveth
him
not
.
Remember this and be
brave;
take
it to
heart
, you
transgressors !
Remember this ,
and shew
yourselves
men,
Turn
`
it '
back
, O
transgressors ,
to
the
heart.
Remember what
happened
long
ago
, for I am God
, and there is no
other;
I
am
God
, and there is none like Me.
Remember former
things
of
old
, For I `
am '
Mighty
, and there is none
else
, God
--
and there is none like Me.
I
declare
the
end
from the beginning, and ancient
times
from what
is
still
to
come.
I
say
, ‘
My purpose
will
stand, and all My good
pleasure
I will
accomplish
. ’
Declaring
from the beginning the
latter
end
, And from of
old
that
which
hath
not
been
done
, Saying,
`
My counsel
doth
stand, And all My delight
I do
. '
I
summon
a
bird
of
prey
from the east ,
a man
for
My
purpose
from a far -off
land .
Truly
I have spoken, and
truly
I will
bring it to
pass.
I have planned
it, and
I will
surely
do it.
Calling
from the east a ravenous
bird,
From a far land the
man
of
My
counsel,
Yea,
I have spoken, yea,
I bring it in,
I have formed
`
it '
, yea,
I do it.
Listen
to
Me, you
stubborn
people
, far removed
from righteousness :
Hearken
unto
Me, ye
mighty
in
heart
, Who
are
far from righteousness .
I am
bringing
My righteousness near;
it is not far away
, and My salvation will
not be
delayed.
I will
grant
salvation to Zion
and
adorn
Israel with
My splendor.
I have
brought
near
My righteousness ,
It is not far off
, And My salvation --
it
doth
not tarry,
And
I have
given
in
Zion
salvation ,
To Israel My glory!
