¹Bel is broken, Nebo is all-broken; their simulacra like to wild beasts and work beasts be broken; your burdens with heavy charge till to weariness were rotten,

²and be all-broken together; those might not save the bearer, and the soul of them shall go into captivity.

³The house of Jacob, and all the residue of the house of Israel, hear ye me, which be borne of my womb, which be borne of my womb.

⁴Till to eld I myself, and till to hoar hairs, I shall bear; I made, and I shall bear, and I shall save.

⁵To whom have ye likened me, and made even, and have comparisoned me, and have made like?

⁶Which bear together gold from the bag, and weigh silver with a balance, and hire a goldsmith to make a god, and they fall down, and worship;

⁷they bearing bear in shoulders, and setting in his place; and he shall stand, and shall not be moved from his place; but also when they cry to him, he shall not hear, and he shall not save them from tribulation.

⁸Have ye mind of this, and be ye ashamed; ye trespassers, go again to the heart.

⁹Bethink ye on the former world, for I am God, no God is over me, neither is like me.

¹⁰And I tell from the beginning the last thing, and from the beginning those things that be not made yet; and I say, My counsel shall stand, and all my will shall be done.

¹¹And I call a bird from the east, and the man of my will from a far land; and I spake, and I shall bring that thing; I have made of nought, and I shall make that thing.

¹²Ye of hard heart, hear me, that be far from rightfulness or rightwiseness.

¹³I made nigh mine rightfulness or rightwiseness, it shall not be drawn afar, and mine health shall not tarry; I shall give health in Zion, and my glory in Israel.
