Isaiah 46:6 Context
4And euen to your old age I am he, and euen to hoare haires will I cary you: I haue made, and I will beare, euen I wil cary and wil deliuer you. 5¶ To whom wil ye liken me, and make me equall, and compare me, that we may be like? 6They lauish gold out of the bagge, and weigh siluer in the balance, and hire a goldsmith, and hee maketh it a god: they fall downe, yea they worship. 7They beare him vpon the shoulder, they cary him and set him in his place, and hee standeth; from his place shall he not remooue: yea one shall cry vnto him, yet can he not answere, nor saue him out of his trouble. 8Remember this, and shew your selues men: bring it againe to minde, O ye transgressours.
