Isaiah 46:6

Babylon's Idols

⁵ To whom will you liken me, and count as equal, and compare with me, as though we were alike? ⁶ Those who lavish gold from [the] purse and weigh out silver in the balance scales; hire {a goldsmith} and he makes him a god; they bow down, indeed they bow in worship. ⁷ They carry it on [their] shoulder; they support it and they set it [in] its place, and it stands in position. It cannot be removed from its place; even [when] he cries out to it, it does not answer. It does not save him from his trouble.
