These gods stoop low and bow down together.
They aren’t able to escape with heavy loads.
They go away into captivity.

Listen to me, descendants of Jacob,
the few people left of the nation of Israel.
I’ve carried you since your birth.
I’ve taken care of you from the time you were born.
Even when you’re old, I’ll take care of you.
Even when your hair turns gray, I’ll support you.
I made you and will continue to care for you.
I’ll support you and save you.

“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)
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.
