THERE IS NO ONE LIKE GOD
46Bel 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.
2The gods cower; they crouch together;
they are not able to rescue the burden,
but they themselves go into captivity.n

Bel bows down, Nebo stoops low;
their idols are borne by beasts of burden.

they themselves go off into captivity.

NLTNew Living Translation
Bel and Nebo, the gods of Babylon,
bow as they are lowered to the ground.
They are being hauled away on ox carts.
The poor beasts stagger under the weight.
Both the idols and their owners are bowed down.
The gods cannot protect the people,
and the people cannot protect the gods.
They go off into captivity together.

Bel bows down;
Nebo is stooping.
Their idols are on animals and on cattle;
your cargo is carried as a burden on weary animals.
They stoop;
they bow down together.
They are not able to save the burden,
but they themselves go in captivity.

KJV 1900King James Version
Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth,
Their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle:
Your carriages were heavy loaden;
They are a burden to the weary beast.
They stoop, they bow down together;
They could not deliver the burden,
But themselves are gone into captivity.
