46 ^(A)Bel has bowed down, Nebo stoops over;
Their images are on the beasts and the cattle.
The things ^[a]that you carry are burdensome,
A load for the weary beast.

⁵ Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field are they,
And they ^(A)cannot speak;
They must be ^(B)carried
Because they cannot take a step!
Do not fear them,
For they ^(C)can do no harm,
Nor can they do any good.”
