46:3 “Listen to me, O family of Jacob, 1
all you who are left from the family of Israel, 2
you who have been carried from birth, 3
you who have been supported from the time you left the womb. 4
46:4 Even when you are old, I will take care of you, 5
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. 6
