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 46:2 Or their soul hashave themselves gone 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.

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.
