1. Bel has been broken. Nebo has been crushed. Their idols have been placed upon beasts and cattle, your grievous heavy burdens, even unto exhaustion.
2. They have been melted down, or have been smashed together. They were not able to save the one who carried them, and their life will go into captivity.
3. Listen to me, house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who are carried in my bosom, who were born from my womb.
4. Even to your old age, I am the same. And even with your grey hairs, I will carry you. I have made you, and I will sustain you. I will carry you, and I will save you.
5. To whom would you likened me, or equate me, or compare me, or consider me to be similar?
