Es 46 (King James)

¹ Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages were heavy loaden; they are a burden to the weary beast.
² They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.
³ Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb:
⁴ And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
⁵ To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?
⁶ They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship.
⁷ They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he not remove: yea, one shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
⁸ Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.
⁹ Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
¹⁰ Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
¹¹ Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
¹² Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from righteousness:
¹³ I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.

Es 46 (Stephanus 1550)

Es 46 (Vulgate)

¹ [Confractus est Bel, contritus est Nabo ; facta sunt simulacra eorum bestiis et jumentis, onera vestra gravi pondere usque ad lassitudinem.
² Contabuerunt, et contrita sunt simul ; non potuerunt salvare portantem, et anima eorum in captivitatem ibit.
³ Audite me, domus Jacob, et omne residuum domus Israël ; qui portamini a meo utero, qui gestamini a mea vulva.
⁴ Usque ad senectam ego ipse, et usque ad canos ego portabo ; ego feci, et ego feram ; ego portabo, et salvabo.
⁵ Cui assimilastis me, et adæquastis, et comparastis me, et fecistis similem ?
⁶ Qui confertis aurum de sacculo, et argentum statera ponderatis, conducentes aurificem ut faciat deum, et procidunt, et adorant.
⁷ Portant illum in humeris gestantes, et ponentes in loco suo, et stabit, ac de loco suo non movebitur : sed et cum clamaverint ad eum, non audiet ; de tribulatione non salvabit eos.
⁸ Mementote istud, et confundamini ; redite, prævaricatores, ad cor.
⁹ Recordamini prioris sæculi, quoniam ego sum Deus, et non est ultra deus, nec est similis mei.
¹⁰ Annuntians ab exordio novissimum, et ab initio quæ necdum facta sunt, dicens : Consilium meum stabit, et omnis voluntas mea fiet.
¹¹ Vocans ab oriente avem, et de terra longinqua virum voluntatis meæ : et locutus sum, et adducam illud ; creavi et faciam illud.
¹² Audite me, duro corde, qui longe estis a justitia.
¹³ Prope feci justitiam meam, non elongabitur, et salus mea non morabitur. Dabo in Sion salutem, et in Israël gloriam meam.]
