The verse 5 is found in chapter 46 of Isaiah. Bel and Nebo, Babylonian gods, are portrayed as burdens that must be transported by animals, while Yahweh sustains and carries his people. The theological contrast is clear: idols must be carried by those who made them; God, by contrast, carries those who belong to him. His purpose remains firm from beginning to end.

Nach wem bildet und wem vergleicht ihr mich denn? Gegen wen messet ihr mich, dem ich gleich sein solle?
¿A quién me asemejáis, y me igualáis, y me comparáis, para que sea semejante?
A qui me comparerez-vous, pour le faire mon égal? A qui me ferez-vous ressembler, pour que nous soyons semblables?
A cui mi assomigliereste? ed a cui mi agguagliereste? a cui mi pareggereste, per essere par suo?
A quem me assemelhareis, e com quem me igualareis, e me comparareis, para que sejamos semelhantes?
你們將誰與我相比,與我相等, 將誰與我相較,使我們相似呢?
