46 Bel ^(A)bows down, Nebo stoops;
Their idols were on the beasts and on the cattle.
Your carriages were heavily loaded,
^(B)A burden to the weary beast.

⁵ They are upright, like a palm tree,
And ^(A)they cannot speak;
They must be ^(B)carried,
Because they cannot go by themselves.
Do not be afraid of them,
For ^(C)they cannot do evil,
Nor can they do any good.”
