THERE IS NO ONE LIKE GOD

46 Bel crouches; Nebo cowers.m

Idols depicting them are consigned to beasts and cattle.

The images you carry are loaded,

as a burden for the weary animal.

2 The gods cower; they crouch together;

they are not able to rescue the burden,

but they themselves go into captivity.n

3 “Listen to me, house of Jacob,

all the remnant of the house of Israel,

who have been sustained from the womb,

carried along since birth.

4 I will be the same until your old age,o

and I will bear you up when you turn gray.

I have made you, and I will carry you;

I will bear and rescue you.
