Isa 46:5 “To whom will you liken Me, and make Me equal And compare Me, that we should be alike?
Isa 46:6 They lavish gold out of the bag, And weigh silver on the scales; They hire a goldsmith, and he makes it a god; They prostrate themselves, yes, they worship.
Isa 46:7 They bear it on the shoulder, they carry it And set it in its place, and it stands; From its place it shall not move. Though one cries out to it, yet it cannot answer Nor save him out of his trouble.
May be sarcastic transition from animals carrying the idols to people carrying them on their own shoulders (vs. 1, 7).
Wow, what an excellent observation.
