Isaiah 46:5-7

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁵ To whom will you compare me and make me equal?
To whom will you compare me so that we can be alike?

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.
