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.

Remember this, and take courage.
    Recall your rebellious acts.
Remember the first events,
    because I am El, and there is no other.
        I am Elohim, and there’s no one like me.

For I am God, and (E)there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like Me,
