3. “Listen to me, descendants of Jacob,all who are left of my people.I have cared for you from the time you were born.
4. I am your God and will take care of youuntil you are old and your hair is grey.I made you and will care for you;I will give you help and rescue you.
5. “With whom will you compare me?” says the Lord.“Is there anyone else like me?
6. People open their purses and pour out gold;they weigh out silver on the scales.They hire a goldsmith to make a god;then they bow down and worship it!
