Even[a] to your old age I am he;
    even[b] to your advanced age I myself will support you.
I myself have made you,
    and I myself will carry you,
and I myself will support you,
    and I will save you.
To whom will you liken me,
    and count as equal,
and compare with me,
    as though[c] we were alike?

    and weigh out silver in the balance scales;
hire a goldsmith[d]
    and he makes him a god;
they bow down,
    indeed they bow in worship.
