Context of Isaiah 46:4
2They stooped over, they have bowed down together; They could not rescue the burden [of their own idols], But have themselves gone into captivity. 3“Listen to Me,” [says the Lord], “O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of the house of Israel, You who have been carried by Me from your birth And have been carried [in My arms] from the womb, Even to your old age I am He, And even to your advanced old age I will carry you! I have made you, and I will carry you; Be assured I will carry you and I will save you. 5“To whom would you liken Me And make Me equal and compare Me, That we may be alike? 6Those who lavish gold from the bag And weigh out silver on the scales Hire a goldsmith, and he makes it into a god; They bow down, indeed they worship it.
