Isaiah - douay rheims

Chapter 46

¹ BEL is broken, Nebo is destroyed: their idols are put upon beasts and cattle, your burdens of heavy weight even unto weariness.
² They are consumed, and are broken together: they could not save him that carried them, and they themselves shall go into captivity.
³ Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who are carried by my bowels, are borne up by my womb.
⁴ Even to your old age I am the same, and to your grey hairs I will carry you: I have made you, and I will bear: I will carry and will save.
⁵ To whom have you likened me, and made me equal, and compared me, and made me like?
⁶ You that contribute gold out of the bag, and weigh out silver in the scales: and hire a goldsmith to make a god: and they fall down and worship.
⁷ They bear him on their shoulders and carry him, and set him in his piece, and he shall stand, and shall not stir out of his place. Yea, when they shall cry also unto him, he shall not hear: he shall not save them from tribulation.
⁸ Remember this, and be ashamed: return, ye transgressors, to the heart.
⁹ Remember the former age, for I am God, and there is no God beside, neither is there the like to me:
¹⁰ Who shew from the beginning the things that shall be at last, and from ancient times the things that as yet are not done, saying: My counsel shall stand, and all my will shall be done:
¹¹ Who call a bird from the east, and from a far country the man of my own will, and I have spoken, and will bring it to pass: I have created, and I will do it. Hear me, O ye hardhearted, who are far from justice.
¹² I have brought my justice near, it shall not be afar off: and my salvation shall not tarry. I will give salvation in Sion, and my glory in Israel.

Chapter 46

¹ Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your loads were heavy; they were a burden to the weary beast.
² They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves have gone into captivity.
³ Hearken to me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the birth, which are carried from the womb:
⁴ And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoary hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
⁵ To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?
⁶ They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yes, they worship.
⁷ They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he not remove: yes, one shall cry to him, yet he cannot answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
⁸ Remember this, and show yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.
⁹ Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
¹⁰ Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
¹¹ Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yes, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also perform it.
¹² Hearken to me, ye stout-hearted, that are far from righteousness:
¹³ I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not delay: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.

Isaiah - basic english

Chapter 46

¹ Bel is bent down, Nebo is falling; their images are on the beasts and on the cattle: the things which you took about have become a weight to the tired beast.
² They are bent down, they are falling together: they were not able to keep their images safe, but they themselves have been taken prisoner.
³ Give ear to me, O family of Jacob, and all the rest of the people of Israel, who have been supported by me from their birth, and have been my care from their earliest days:
⁴ Even when you are old I will be the same, and when you are grey-haired I will take care of you: I will still be responsible for what I made; yes, I will take you and keep you safe.
⁵ Who in your eyes is my equal? or what comparison will you make with me?
⁶ As for those who take gold out of a bag, and put silver in the scales, they give payment to a gold-worker, to make it into a god; they go down on their faces and give it worship.
⁷ They put him on their backs, and take him up, and put him in his fixed place, from which he may not be moved; if a man gives a cry for help to him, he is unable to give an answer, or get him out of his trouble.
⁸ Keep this in mind and be shamed; let it come back to your memory, you sinners.
⁹ Let the things which are past come to your memory: for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like me;
¹⁰ Making clear from the first what is to come, and from past times the things which have not so far come about; saying, My purpose is fixed, and I will do all my pleasure;
¹¹ Sending for a bird of strong flight from the east, the man of my purpose from a far country; I have said it, and I will give effect to it; the thing designed by me will certainly be done.
¹² Give ear to me, you feeble-hearted, who have no faith in my righteousness:
¹³ My righteousness is near, it is not far off; salvation will come quickly; and I will make Zion free, and give Israel my glory.
