Isaiah 46:6-8
International Standard Version
6 Those who pour out gold in[a] a purse,
weigh silver in a balance,
hire a goldsmith in order to make[b] a god,
and then[c] they bow down and even worship it.
7 And[d] they lift it on their shoulders, carry it,
set it up in its place, and there it stands.
It cannot move[e] from that spot.
One may even call to[f] it, but it cannot answer
nor save him from his distress.
8 “Remember this, and stand firm;
take it again to heart, you rebels.
