Context of Isaiah 46:4
2They stoop, they bow down together, they cannot save the burden, but themselves go into captivity. 3“Listen to Me, house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, borne by Me from birth, carried from the womb. Even to your old age I will be the same, until you are gray I will carry you. I have done it; I will bear you; I will carry you; I will deliver you. 5To whom will you liken Me, or make Me equal or compare Me, that we should be alike? 6They lavish gold from a purse and weigh out silver on the scales. They hire a goldsmith so he makes a god. They bow down. Yes, they worship it.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 4And even to your old age, I am he - Or rather, I am the same. I remain, unchangeably, with the same tenderness, the same affection, the same care.
