Isaiah 46:5-7
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
5 To whom will you liken me and make me equal,
and compare me, as though we were alike?
6 Those who lavish gold from the purse,
and weigh out silver in the scales—
they hire a goldsmith, who makes it into a god;
then they fall down and worship!
7 They lift it to their shoulders, they carry it,
they set it in its place, and it stands there;
it cannot move from its place.
If one cries out to it, it does not answer
or save anyone from trouble.
Isaiah 46:5-7
New International Version
5 “With whom will you compare me or count me equal?
To whom will you liken me that we may be compared?(A)
6 Some pour out gold from their bags
and weigh out silver on the scales;
they hire a goldsmith(B) to make it into a god,
and they bow down and worship it.(C)
7 They lift it to their shoulders and carry(D) it;
they set it up in its place, and there it stands.
From that spot it cannot move.(E)
Even though someone cries out to it, it cannot answer;(F)
it cannot save(G) them from their troubles.
