Isaiah 46:2
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
The gods cower; they crouch together, unable to relieve the burden; but they themselves go into captivity.
In context
1 Bel crouches; Nebo cowers. Their idols weigh down beasts and cattle. The images you carry are burdensome, a load to the weary animal.
2 The gods cower; they crouch together, unable to relieve the burden; but they themselves go into captivity.
3 “Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been sustained from the womb, carried along since birth.
4 Even to your old age, I will be the same, and I will bear you up when you turn gray. I have made you, and I will carry you; I will sustain you and deliver you.
