Isaiah 46:8
6 They pour out their bags of gold and weigh out silver on scales; they hire a goldsmith to fashion it into a god, so they can bow down and worship.
7 They lift it to their shoulder and carry it along; they set it in its place, and there it stands, not budging from that spot. They cry out to it, but it does not answer; it saves no one from his troubles.
Remember this and be brave; take it to heart, you transgressors!
9 Remember what happened long ago, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me.
10 I declare the end from the beginning, and ancient times from what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and all My good pleasure I will accomplish.’
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
