KJV

1  Bel¹⁰⁷⁸ boweth down,³⁷⁶⁶ Nebo⁵⁰¹⁵ stoopeth,⁷¹⁶⁴ their idols⁶⁰⁹¹ were¹⁹⁶¹ upon the beasts,²⁴¹⁶ and upon the cattle:⁹²⁹ your carriages⁵³⁸⁵ were heavy laden;⁶⁰⁰⁶ they are a burden⁴⁸⁵³ to the weary⁵⁸⁸⁹ beast.

2  They stoop,⁷¹⁶⁴ they bow down³⁷⁶⁶ together;³¹⁶² they could³²⁰¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ deliver⁴⁴²² the burden,⁴⁸⁵³ but themselves⁵³¹⁵ are gone¹⁹⁸⁰ into captivity.⁷⁶²⁸

3  Hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto⁴¹³ me, O house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Jacob,³²⁹⁰ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the remnant⁷⁶¹¹ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ which are borne⁶⁰⁰⁶ by me from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the belly,⁹⁹⁰ which are carried⁵³⁷⁵ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the womb:⁷³⁵⁶

4  And even to⁵⁷⁰⁴ your old age²²⁰⁹ I⁵⁸⁹ am he;¹⁹³¹ and even to⁵⁷⁰⁴ hoar hairs⁷⁸⁷² will I⁵⁸⁹ carry⁵⁴⁴⁵ you: I⁵⁸⁹ have made,⁶²¹³ and I⁵⁸⁹ will bear;⁵³⁷⁵ even I⁵⁸⁹ will carry,⁵⁴⁴⁵ and will deliver⁴⁴²² you.

5  To whom⁴³¹⁰ will ye liken¹⁸¹⁹ me, and make me equal,⁷⁷³⁷ and compare⁴⁹¹¹ me, that we may be like?¹⁸¹⁹

6  They lavish²¹⁰⁷ gold²⁰⁹¹ out of the bag,^{4480 3599} and weigh⁸²⁵⁴ silver³⁷⁰¹ in the balance,⁷⁰⁷⁰ and hire⁷⁹³⁶ a goldsmith;⁶⁸⁸⁴ and he maketh⁶²¹³ it a god:⁴¹⁰ they fall down,⁵⁴⁵⁶ yea,⁶³⁷ they worship.⁷⁸¹²

7  They bear⁵³⁷⁵ him upon⁵⁹²¹ the shoulder,³⁸⁰² they carry⁵⁴⁴⁵ him, and set⁵¹¹⁷ him in his place,⁸⁴⁷⁸ and he standeth;⁵⁹⁷⁵ from his place^{4480 4725} shall he not³⁸⁰⁸ remove:⁴¹⁸⁵ yea,⁶³⁷ one shall cry⁶⁸¹⁷ unto⁴¹³ him, yet can he not³⁸⁰⁸ answer,⁶⁰³⁰ nor³⁸⁰⁸ save³⁴⁶⁷ him out of his trouble.^{4480 6869}

8  Remember²¹⁴² this,²⁰⁶³ and show yourselves men:³⁷⁷ bring it again⁷⁷²⁵ to⁵⁹²¹ mind,³⁸²⁰ O ye transgressors.⁶⁵⁸⁶

9  Remember²¹⁴² the former things⁷²²³ of old:^{4480 5769} for³⁵⁸⁸ I⁵⁹⁵ am God,⁴¹⁰ and there is none³⁶⁹ else;⁵⁷⁵⁰ I am God,⁴³⁰ and there is none⁶⁵⁷ like me,³⁶⁴⁴

10  Declaring⁵⁰⁴⁶ the end³¹⁹ from the beginning,^{4480 7225} and from ancient times^{4480 6924} the things that⁸³⁴ are not³⁸⁰⁸ yet done,⁶²¹³ saying,⁵⁵⁹ My counsel⁶⁰⁹⁸ shall stand,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and I will do⁶²¹³ all³⁶⁰⁵ my pleasure:²⁶⁵⁶

11  Calling⁷¹²¹ a ravenous bird⁵⁸⁶¹ from the east,^{4480 4217} the man³⁷⁶ that executeth my counsel⁶⁰⁹⁸ from a far⁴⁸⁰¹ country:^{4480 776} yea,⁶³⁷ I have spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ it, I will also⁶³⁷ bring it to pass;⁹³⁵ I have purposed³³³⁵ it, I will also⁶³⁷ do⁶²¹³ it.

12  Hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto⁴¹³ me, ye stouthearted,^{47 3820} that are far⁷³⁵⁰ from righteousness:^{4480 6666}

13  I bring near⁷¹²⁶ my righteousness;⁶⁶⁶⁶ it shall not³⁸⁰⁸ be far off,⁷³⁶⁸ and my salvation⁸⁶⁶⁸ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ tarry:³⁰⁹ and I will place⁵⁴¹⁴ salvation⁸⁶⁶⁸ in Zion⁶⁷²⁶ for Israel³⁴⁷⁸ my glory.⁸⁵⁹⁷

1 ἔπεσε Βηλ συνετρίβη Δαγων ἐγένετο τὰ γλυπτὰ αὐτῶν εἰς θηρία καὶ κτήνη αἴρετε αὐτὰ καταδεδεμένα ὡς φορτίον κοπιῶντι

2 καὶ πεινῶντι καὶ ἐκλελυμένῳ οὐκ ἰσχύοντι ἅμα οἳ οὐ δυνήσονται σωθῆναι ἀπὸ πολέμου αὐτοὶ δὲ αἰχμάλωτοι ἤχθησαν

3 ἀκούσατέ μου οἶκος τοῦ Ιακωβ καὶ πᾶν τὸ κατάλοιπον τοῦ Ισραηλ οἱ αἰρόμενοι ἐκ κοιλίας καὶ παιδευόμενοι ἐκ παιδίου

4 ἕως γήρους ἐγώ εἰμι καὶ ἕως ἂν καταγηράσητε ἐγώ εἰμι ἐγὼ ἀνέχομαι ὑμῶν ἐγὼ ἐποίησα καὶ ἐγὼ ἀνήσω ἐγὼ ἀναλήμψομαι καὶ σώσω ὑμᾶς

5 τίνι με ὡμοιώσατε ἴδετε τεχνάσασθε οἱ πλανώμενοι

6 οἱ συμβαλλόμενοι χρυσίον ἐκ μαρσιππίου καὶ ἀργύριον ἐν ζυγῷ στήσουσιν ἐν σταθμῷ καὶ μισθωσάμενοι χρυσοχόον ἐποίησαν χειροποίητα καὶ κύψαντες προσκυνοῦσιν αὐτοῖς

7 αἴρουσιν αὐτὸ ἐπὶ τῶν ὤμων καὶ πορεύονται ἐὰν δὲ θῶσιν αὐτό ἐπὶ τοῦ τόπου αὐτοῦ μένει οὐ μὴ κινηθῇ καὶ ὃς ἂν βοήσῃ πρὸς αὐτόν οὐ μὴ εἰσακούσῃ ἀπὸ κακῶν οὐ μὴ σώσῃ αὐτόν

8 μνήσθητε ταῦτα καὶ στενάξατε μετανοήσατε οἱ πεπλανημένοι ἐπιστρέψατε τῇ καρδίᾳ

9 καὶ μνήσθητε τὰ πρότερα ἀπὸ τοῦ αἰῶνος ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ θεός καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἔτι πλὴν ἐμοῦ

10 ἀναγγέλλων πρότερον τὰ ἔσχατα πρὶν αὐτὰ γενέσθαι καὶ ἅμα συνετελέσθη καὶ εἶπα πᾶσά μου ἡ βουλὴ στήσεται καὶ πάντα ὅσα βεβούλευμαι ποιήσω

11 καλῶν ἀπ᾽ ἀνατολῶν πετεινὸν καὶ ἀπὸ γῆς πόρρωθεν περὶ ὧν βεβούλευμαι ἐλάλησα καὶ ἤγαγον ἔκτισα καὶ ἐποίησα ἤγαγον αὐτὸν καὶ εὐόδωσα τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ

12 ἀκούσατέ μου οἱ ἀπολωλεκότες τὴν καρδίαν οἱ μακρὰν ἀπὸ τῆς δικαιοσύνης

13 ἤγγισα τὴν δικαιοσύνην μου καὶ τὴν σωτηρίαν τὴν παρ᾽ ἐμοῦ οὐ βραδυνῶ δέδωκα ἐν Σιων σωτηρίαν τῷ Ισραηλ εἰς δόξασμα

Vul

1 [Confractus est Bel, contritus est Nabo;
facta sunt simulacra eorum bestiis et jumentis,
onera vestra gravi pondere
usque ad lassitudinem.

2 Contabuerunt, et contrita sunt simul;
non potuerunt salvare portantem,
et anima eorum in captivitatem ibit.

3 Audite me, domus Jacob,
et omne residuum domus Israël;
qui portamini a meo utero,
qui gestamini a mea vulva.

4 Usque ad senectam ego ipse,
et usque ad canos ego portabo;
ego feci, et ego feram;
ego portabo, et salvabo.

5 Cui assimilastis me, et adæquastis,
et comparastis me, et fecistis similem?

6 Qui confertis aurum de sacculo,
et argentum statera ponderatis,
conducentes aurificem ut faciat deum,
et procidunt, et adorant.

7 Portant illum in humeris gestantes,
et ponentes in loco suo,
et stabit, ac de loco suo non movebitur:
sed et cum clamaverint ad eum, non audiet;
de tribulatione non salvabit eos.

8 Mementote istud, et confundamini;
redite, prævaricatores, ad cor.

9 Recordamini prioris sæculi,
quoniam ego sum Deus, et non est ultra deus,
nec est similis mei.

10 Annuntians ab exordio novissimum,
et ab initio quæ necdum facta sunt,
dicens: Consilium meum stabit,
et omnis voluntas mea fiet.

11 Vocans ab oriente avem,
et de terra longinqua virum voluntatis meæ:
et locutus sum, et adducam illud;
creavi et faciam illud.

12 Audite me, duro corde,
qui longe estis a justitia.

13 Prope feci justitiam meam, non elongabitur,
et salus mea non morabitur.
Dabo in Sion salutem,
et in Israël gloriam meam.]
