Isaiah 46:4
Compare all
2 They stoop, they bow down together;
They could not deliver the burden,
aBut have themselves gone into captivity. 
3 “Listen to Me, O house of Jacob,
And all the remnant of the house of Israel,
aWho have been upheld by Me from1 birth,
Who have been carried from the womb: 
4 Even to your old age, aI am He,
And even to gray hairs bI will carry you!
I have made, and I will bear;
Even I will carry, and will deliver you. 
5 “Toa whom will you liken Me, and make Me equal
And compare Me, that we should be alike? 
6 aThey lavish gold out of the bag,
And weigh silver on the scales;
They hire a bgoldsmith, and he makes it a god;
They prostrate themselves, yes, they worship. 
7 aThey bear it on the shoulder, they carry it
And set it in its place, and it stands;
From its place it shall not move.
Though bone cries out to it, yet it cannot answer
Nor save him out of his trouble.

Isaiah 46:4

old age—As "your"—"you"—"you," are not in the Hebrew, the sentiment is more general than English Version, though of course it includes the Jews from the infancy to the more advanced age of their history (Isaiah 47:6).

I am he—that is the same (Psalms 102:27; John 8:24; Hebrews 13:8).

I will bear . . . carry—Not only do I not need to be borne and carried Myself, as the idols (Isaiah 46:1).
