巴比伦之像不能自救

46 彼勒屈身,尼波弯腰;巴比伦的偶像驮在兽和牲畜上,他们所抬的如今成了重驮,使牲畜疲乏。 都一同弯腰屈身,不能保全重驮,自己倒被掳去。

神始终拯救其民

雅各家,以色列家一切余剩的,要听我言!你们自从生下,就蒙我保抱;自从出胎,便蒙我怀揣。 直到你们年老,我仍这样;直到你们发白,我仍怀揣。我已造做,也必保抱;我必怀抱,也必拯救。

神至圣无可比拟

“你们将谁与我相比,与我同等,可以与我比较,使我们相同呢? 那从囊中抓金子,用天平平银子的人,雇银匠制造神像,他们又俯伏,又叩拜。 他们将神像抬起,扛在肩上,安置在定处,它就站立,不离本位。人呼求它,它不能答应,也不能救人脱离患难。

耶和华所言必成

“你们当想念这事,自己做大丈夫!悖逆的人哪,要心里思想! 你们要追念上古的事,因为我是神,并无别神。我是神,再没有能比我的。 10 我从起初指明末后的事,从古时言明未成的事,说:‘我的筹算必立定,凡我所喜悦的,我必成就。’ 11 我召鸷鸟从东方来,召那成就我筹算的人从远方来。我已说出,也必成就;我已谋定,也必做成。

12 “你们这些心中顽梗,远离公义的,当听我言! 13 我使我的公义临近,必不远离,我的救恩必不迟延。我要为以色列我的荣耀,在锡安施行救恩。

巴比倫的假神

46 彼勒屈膝跪下,

尼波彎腰降服。
這些巴比倫的偶像成為野獸和牲畜背上的重負,
使其疲憊不堪。
它們一同屈膝降服,
不但救不了被擄的巴比倫人,
自己也被擄去。

耶和華說:「雅各家啊,以色列家的餘民啊,要聽我說。
你們一出生,我就照顧你們;
一出母胎,我就呵護你們。
即使你們年老髮白的時候,
我仍然一如既往地扶持你們。
我造了你們,必照顧你們,
扶持你們,拯救你們。

「你們拿誰與我相比,
使之與我同等呢?
你們把誰比作我,
使之與我相同呢?
有些人從囊中取金子,
又用天平稱銀子,
雇銀匠製造神像,
然後向它俯伏叩拜。
他們把神像抬起來扛在肩上,
找個地方把它安置好,
它就在那裡呆立不動。
人向它呼求,它不能回應,
也不能救人脫離困境。

「你們這些悖逆的人啊,
要將這些事銘記在心。
你們要記住古時發生的事,
因為我是獨一無二的上帝,
再沒有誰能與我相比。
10 我從太初就預言末後的事,
從亙古就宣佈將來的事。
我的旨意必成就,
我的計劃必實現。
11 我從東方召來鷙鳥,
從遙遠的地方召人來成就我的計劃。
我言出必行,
必成就自己的計劃。
12 你們這些冥頑不靈、
遠離公義的人啊,聽我說。
13 我要親自施行公義,
那一天已經不遠,
我的救恩很快就會來臨。
我要在錫安賜下救恩,
把我的榮耀賜給以色列。

46 Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages were heavy loaden; they are a burden to the weary beast.

They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.

Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb:

And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.

To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?

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, yea, they worship.

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: yea, one shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble.

Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.

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: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.

12 Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from righteousness:

13 I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.
