6 Those lavishing gold from the bag and weighing silver on the scales, they hire a goldsmith, that he might make it a god. They bow low, even bow down; 7 they bear it on a shoulder, they carry it and set it in its place, and it stands—from its place it will not move; though one may cry out to it, and it will not answer; from his distress it will not save him. 8 Remember this and be men; take it back, O transgressors, to heart! 9 Remember the former things of old: For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and none is like Me— 10 declaring from the beginning the end, and from of old that which has not been done, saying, ‘My counsel will stand, and I will do all My delight;’ 11 the One calling from the east a bird of prey, the man of My counsel from a country far away—indeed, I have spoken it and so I will bring it to pass; I have fashioned it, I will also do it. 12 Listen to Me, O obstinate of heart, far from righteousness! 13 I have brought near My righteousness; it is not far off; and My salvation—it will not be delayed; and I have given to Zion salvation, to Israel My splendor. Isaiah 46:6-13, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
