Isaiah 46:2

Isaiah 46:2 in 10 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

2They stoop and bow down together;

unable to rescue the burden,

they themselves go off into captivity.

2They stooped over, they have bowed down together;

They could not rescue the burden,

But have themselves gone into captivity.

2They stooped over, they have bowed down together;

They could not rescue the burden [of their own idols],

But have themselves gone into captivity.

2The gods cower; they crouch together,

unable to relieve the burden;

but they themselves go into captivity.

2They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.

2They are bowed downe, and fallen together: for they coulde not rid them of the burden, and their soule is gone into captiuitie.

2They stoop and they bow down together.

They could not deliver the burden,

but they have gone into captivity.

2The gods named Bel and Nebo are brought down in shame together.

They aren’t able to save their own statues.

They themselves are carried off as prisoners.

2Those gods fall down and they lie together on the ground!

They have no power to rescue their images.

The gods themselves go as prisoners to a foreign land,

together with their images.

2They have stooped, they have bowed together, || They have not been able to deliver the burden, || And have gone into captivity themselves.
