The gods cower; they crouch together;
they are not able to rescue the burden,
but they themselves go into captivity.(A)

‘Listen to me, house of Jacob,
all the remnant of the house of Israel,
who have been sustained from the womb,
carried along since birth.
I will be the same until your old age,(B)
and I will bear you up when you turn grey.
I have made you, and I will carry you;
I will bear and rescue you.

They stoop and bow down together;
    unable to rescue the burden,
    they themselves go off into captivity.(A)

“Listen(B) to me, you descendants of Jacob,
    all the remnant(C) of the people of Israel,
you whom I have upheld since your birth,(D)
    and have carried(E) since you were born.(F)
Even to your old age and gray hairs(G)
    I am he,(H) I am he who will sustain you.
I have made you and I will carry you;
    I will sustain(I) you and I will rescue you.

They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.

Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb:

And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
