Isaiah 46:1-13 Dead Idols and the Living God / Babylon’s Idols and the True God

Isaiah 46:3-4
3
“Listen to Me, O house of Jacob,
And all the remnant of the house of Israel,
Who have been upheld by Me from birth,
Who have been carried from the womb:
4
Even to your old age, I am He,
And even to gray hairs I will carry you!
I have made, and I will bear;
Even I will carry, and will deliver you.

Isaiah 46:5-7
5
“To whom will you liken Me, and make Me equal
And compare Me, that we should be alike?
6
They lavish gold out of the bag,
And weigh silver on the scales;
They hire a goldsmith, and he makes it a god;
They prostrate themselves, yes, they worship.
7
They bear it on the shoulder, they carry it
And set it in its place, and it stands;
From its place it shall not move.
Though one cries out to it, yet it cannot answer
Nor save him out of his trouble.

Isaiah 46:8-11
8
“Remember this, and show yourselves men (be men, take courage);
Recall to mind, O you transgressors.
9
Remember the former things of old,
For I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like Me,
10
Declaring the end from the beginning,
And from ancient times things that are not yet done,
Saying, ‘My counsel shall stand,
And I will do all My pleasure,’
11
Calling a bird of prey from the east,
The man who executes My counsel, from a far country.
Indeed I have spoken it;
I will also bring it to pass.
I have purposed it;
I will also do it.

Isaiah 46:12-13
12
“Listen to Me, you stubborn-hearted,
Who are far from righteousness:
13
I bring My righteousness near, it shall not be far off;
My salvation shall not linger (delay).
And I will place salvation in Zion,
For Israel My glory.
