They stoop; they bow down together;
    they cannot save the burden,
    but (A)themselves go into captivity.

“Listen to me, O house of Jacob,
    all the remnant of the house of Israel,
(B)who have been borne by me from before your birth,
    carried from the womb;
(C)even to your old age I am he,
    and to gray hairs I will carry you.
I have made, and I will bear;
    I will carry and will save.

They stooped over, they have bowed down together;
They could not rescue the burden,
But [a]have themselves (A)gone into captivity.

(B)Listen to Me, house of Jacob,
And all (C)the remnant of the house of Israel,
You who have been (D)carried by Me from [b]birth
And have been carried from the womb;
Even to your old age (E)I [c]will be the same,
And even to your [d](F)graying years I will [e]carry you!
I have [f]done it, and I will bear you;
And I will [g]carry you and I will save you.
