20  “Assemble yourselves and come;

draw near together,

you survivors of the nations!

They have no knowledge

who ⁱcarry about their wooden idols,

and keep on ^jpraying to a god

that cannot save.

1  ^pBel bows down; Nebo stoops;

their idols are on beasts and livestock;

these things you ^qcarry are borne

as burdens on weary beasts.

7  They lift it to their shoulders, they carry it,

they set it in its place, and it stands there;

it ^xcannot move from its place.

If one ^ycries to it, it does not answer

or save him from his trouble.
