以賽亞書 46:7-9
現代文譯本(2019)
7 他們把它抬起來,扛在肩上,
安置它,讓它站在那裡,
它就再也不能動彈。
有人向它祈禱,它不能回答;
它也不能救人脫離苦難。
8 有罪的人哪,要記住,
你們要想一想我所做的一切。
9 要記住從前發生的事;
我是上帝,沒有別的;
我是上帝,沒有別的可以跟我相比。
ESV
7 They lift it to their shoulders, they carry it, they set it in its place, and it stands there; it cannot move from its place. If one cries to it, it does not answer or save him from his trouble.
8 “Remember this and stand firm, recall it to mind, you transgressors,
9 remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me,
《聖經背景注釋》
偶像的使用與待遇 美索不達米亞地區的人每天要給神像上供、穿衣服,甚至沐浴。他們每天要供奉食物(當然是廟方人員吃掉)。另有人幫神像穿衣脫衣,也另有人清洗神像,慶典時扛出去。
