Isaiah 46:1 (Listen)

• Isaiah 45
• Isaiah 46

The Idols of Babylon and the One True God

46 oBel bows down; Nebo stoops;

their idols are on beasts and livestock;

these things you carry are borne

as burdens on weary beasts.

Isaiah 46:7 (Listen)

• Isaiah 45
• Isaiah 46
• Isaiah 47

7 vThey lift it to their shoulders, they carry it,

they set it in its place, and it stands there;

wit cannot move from its place.

If one cries to it, it does not answer

or save him from his trouble.

Jeremiah 10:5 (Listen)

• Jeremiah 9
• Jeremiah 10
• Jeremiah 11

5 Their idols1 are like scarecrows in a cucumber field,

and jthey cannot speak;

kthey have to be carried,

for they cannot walk.

Do not be afraid of them,

lfor they cannot do evil,

neither is it in them to do good.”
