Isaiah 46:5-7

New Century Version

⁵ “Can you compare me to anyone?
    No one is equal to me or like me.
⁶ Some people are rich with gold
    and weigh their silver on the scales.
They hire a goldsmith, and he makes it into a god.
    Then they bow down and worship it.
⁷ They put it on their shoulders and carry it.
    They set it in its place, and there it stands;
    it cannot move from its place.
People may yell at it, but it cannot answer.
    It cannot save them from their troubles.
