1. The gods Bel and Neboare down on their knees,as wooden images of themare carried awayon weary animals.
2. They are down on their kneesto rescue the heavy load,but the images are still takento a foreign country.
3. You survivors in Israel,listen to me, the Lord.Since the day you were born,I have carried you along.
4. I will still be the samewhen you are old and grey,and I will take care of you.I created you. I will carry youand always keep you safe.
5. Can anyone compare with me?Is anyone my equal?
