Isaiah 46:5-7

EasyEnglish Bible

⁵ You know that there is no God like me!
You cannot say about any god,
    that he is the same as me.
⁶ Some people make idols for themselves.
They pour out gold coins from their purse.
    They weigh silver on their scales.
They pay a worker with special skill to use the silver and the gold
    to make a god.
Then they bend down low in front of it,
    and they worship it!
⁷ They lift the idol onto their shoulders
    and they carry it home.
They put it in its place and it stands there.
    It cannot move anywhere else.
If someone calls out to it for help,
    it does not answer.
It cannot save anyone from their trouble.
