Isaiah 46:2-4
The Voice
2 These “gods” bow and sink together, unable to escape the coming invasion;
they march off into captivity.
The gods of the nations must have looked rather odd riding on the backs of animals. Even gods of the once-feared Babylonians, Bel and Nebo, are nothing but dead weight.
3 Eternal One: Listen, you who count yourselves among Jacob’s descendants,
all the remnant of Israel.
It is you, not I, who have been carried from before you were born.
Indeed, when you were still in the womb, I was taking care of you.
4 And when you are old, I will still be there, carrying you.
When your limbs grow tired, your eyes are weak,
And your hair a silvery gray, I will carry you as I always have.
I will carry you and save you.
Isaiah 46:2-4
New International Version
2 They stoop and bow down together;
unable to rescue the burden,
they themselves go off into captivity.(A)
3 “Listen(B) to me, you descendants of Jacob,
all the remnant(C) of the people of Israel,
you whom I have upheld since your birth,(D)
and have carried(E) since you were born.(F)
4 Even to your old age and gray hairs(G)
I am he,(H) I am he who will sustain you.
I have made you and I will carry you;
I will sustain(I) you and I will rescue you.
