The images you carry are loaded,

as a burden for the weary animal.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 46:7 -

“They lift it to their shoulder and bear it along;

they set it in its place, and there it stands;

it saves no one from his trouble.

“I call a bird of prey[fn] from the east,

a man for my purpose from a far country.

I have planned it; I will also do it.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 46:12 -

“Listen to me, you hardhearted,

far removed from justice:

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 46:13 -

it is not far away,

and my salvation will not delay.

I will put salvation in Zion,

my splendor in Israel.
