Isaiah 46:1-4

1 1Bel has bowed down, Nebo stoops over; Their images are consigned to the beasts and the cattle. The things 2that you carry are burdensome, A load for the weary beast.2They stooped over, they have bowed down together; They could not rescue the burden, But 3have themselves 4gone into captivity.

3“5Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, And all 6the remnant of the house of Israel, You who have been 7borne by Me from 8birth And have been carried from the womb;4Even to your old age 9I 10will be the same, And even to your 11 12graying years I will bear you! I have 13done it, and I will carry you; And I will bear you and I will deliver you.
