Isaiah 46:6-8
Names of God Bible
6 People pour gold out of their bags and weigh silver on scales.
They hire a goldsmith. He makes it into a god.
They bow down and worship it.
7 They lift it on their shoulders and carry it.
They set the idol in its place, and it stands there.
It doesn’t move from its place.
If they cry to it for help, it can’t answer.
It can’t rescue them from their distress.
8 Remember this, and take courage.
Recall your rebellious acts.
Isaiah 46:6-8
New King James Version
6 (A)They lavish gold out of the bag,
And weigh silver on the scales;
They hire a (B)goldsmith, and he makes it a god;
They prostrate themselves, yes, they worship.
7 (C)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 (D)one cries out to it, yet it cannot answer
Nor save him out of his trouble.
