3
Hear me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of Israel, who are borne from the womb, and taught from infancy, to old age:
4
I am ; and until ye shall have grown old, I am : I bear you, I have made, and I will relieve, I will take up and save you.
5
To whom have ye compared me? see, consider, ye that go astray.
6
They that furnish gold out of a purse, and silver by weight, will weigh it in a scale, and they hire a goldsmith and make idols, and bow down, and worship them.
7
They bear it upon the shoulder, and go; and if they put it upon its place, it remains, it cannot move: and whosoever shall cry to it, it cannot hear; it cannot save him from trouble.
