Footnotes

  1. Isaiah 46:1 Or are but beasts and cattle

Announce to the nations;
proclaim and raise up a signal flag;(A)
proclaim, and hide nothing.
Say: Babylon is captured;
Bel(B) is put to shame;
Marduk is devastated;
her idols are put to shame;
her false gods, devastated.

    Marduk(F) filled with terror.
Her images will be put to shame
    and her idols(G) filled with terror.’
