Isaiah 46:3-5
New English Translation
3 “Listen to me, O family of Jacob,[a]
all you who are left from the family of Israel,[b]
you who have been carried from birth,[c]
you who have been supported from the time you left the womb.[d]
4 Even when you are old, I will take care of you,[e]
even when you have gray hair, I will carry you.
I made you and I will support you;
I will carry you and rescue you.[f]
5 To whom can you compare and liken me?
Tell me whom you think I resemble, so we can be compared!
