Isaiah 46:4-7

4Even to your old age 1I 2will be the same, And even to your 3 4graying years I will bear you! I have 5done it, and I will carry you; And I will bear you and I will deliver you.

5“6To whom would you liken Me And make Me equal and compare Me, That we would be alike?6Those who 7lavish gold from the purse And weigh silver on the scale Hire a goldsmith, and he makes it into a god; They 8bow down, indeed they worship it.7They 9lift it upon the shoulder and carry it; They set it in its place and it stands there. 10It does not move from its place. Though one may cry to it, it 11cannot answer; It 12cannot deliver him from his distress.
