1 The god Bel bows down; the god Nebo stoops low.
2 These gods stoop low and bow down together.
3 Listen to me, descendants of Jacob,
4 Even when you’re old, I’ll take care of you.
5 To whom will you compare me and make me equal?
6 People pour gold out of their bags and weigh silver on scales.
7 They lift it on their shoulders and carry it.
8 Remember this, and take courage.
9 Remember the first events,
10 From the beginning I revealed the end.
11 I will call a bird of prey from the east.
12 Listen to me, you stubborn people who are far from being righteous.
13 I’ll bring my righteousness near; it isn’t far away.
