Isaiah 46: I Will Carry You

Bel and Nebo, the gods of Babylon, bowed down. Their idols had to be loaded onto animals and carried, becoming heavy burdens. God said Israel had been carried by him from birth: Even to old age I am he, and even to gray hairs I will carry you. People spent gold to make a god, carried it on their shoulders, and set it in place, but it could not move or answer or save. God told them to remember: I am God, and there is none like me. I declare the end from the beginning. He would call a ravenous bird from the east, a man to carry out his plan. His salvation would not be delayed.
