Isaiah 46:3-13

New King James Version

³ “Listen to Me, O house of Jacob,
And all the remnant of the house of Israel,
^(A)Who have been upheld by Me from ^[a]birth,
Who have been carried from the womb:
⁴ Even to your old age, ^(B)I am He,
And even to gray hairs ^(C)I will carry you!
I have made, and I will bear;
Even I will carry, and will deliver you.

⁵ “To^(D) whom will you liken Me, and make Me equal
And compare Me, that we should be alike?
^6 (E)They lavish gold out of the bag,
And weigh silver on the scales;
They hire a ^(F)goldsmith, and he makes it a god;
They prostrate themselves, yes, they worship.
^7 (G)They bear it on the shoulder, they carry it
And set it in its place, and it stands;
From its place it shall not move.
Though ^(H)one cries out to it, yet it cannot answer
Nor save him out of his trouble.

⁸ “Remember this, and ^[b]show yourselves men;
^(I)Recall to mind, O you transgressors.
^9 (J)Remember the former things of old,
For I am God, and ^(K)there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like Me,
^10 (L)Declaring the end from the beginning,
And from ancient times things that are not yet done,
Saying, ^(M)‘My counsel shall stand,
And I will do all My pleasure,’
¹¹ Calling a bird of prey ^(N)from the east,
The man ^(O)who executes My counsel, from a far country.
Indeed ^(P)I have spoken it;
I will also bring it to pass.
I have purposed it;
I will also do it.

¹² “Listen to Me, you ^(Q)stubborn-hearted,
^(R)Who are far from righteousness:
^13 (S)I bring My righteousness near, it shall not be far off;
My salvation ^(T)shall not ^[c]linger.
And I will place ^(U)salvation in Zion,
For Israel My glory.
