Isaiah 46:7

Read in context

Isaiah 46:5–9 · Berean Standard Bible

5 To whom will you liken Me or count Me equal? To whom will you compare Me, that we should be alike?

6 They pour out their bags of gold and weigh out silver on scales; they hire a goldsmith to fashion it into a god, so they can bow down and worship.

7 They lift it to their shoulder and carry it along; they set it in its place, and there it stands, not budging from that spot. They cry out to it, but it does not answer; it saves no one from his troubles.

8 Remember this and be brave; take it to heart, you transgressors!

9 Remember what happened long ago, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me.
