They stoop, they bow down together;
They could not deliver the burden,
(A)But have themselves gone into captivity.

“Listen to Me, O house of Jacob,
And all the remnant of the house of Israel,
(B)Who have been upheld by Me from [a]birth,
Who have been carried from the womb:
Even to your old age, (C)I am He,
And even to gray hairs (D)I will carry you!
I have made, and I will bear;
Even I will carry, and will deliver you.

  1. Isaiah 46:3 Lit. the belly

They stoop, they bow down together;
    they cannot save the burden,
    but themselves go into captivity.

Listen to me, O house of Jacob,
    all the remnant of the house of Israel,
who have been borne by me from your birth,
    carried from the womb;
even to your old age I am he,
    even when you turn gray I will carry you.
I have made, and I will bear;
    I will carry and will save.
