Isaiah 46:4-9 New English Translation (NET)

4. Even when you are old, I will take care of you,even when you have gray hair, I will carry you.I made you and I will support you;I will carry you and rescue you.

5. To whom can you compare and liken me?Tell me whom you think I resemble, so we can be compared!

6. Those who empty out gold from a purseand weigh out silver on the scalehire a metalsmith, who makes it into a god.They then bow down and worship it.

7. They put it on their shoulder and carry it;they put it in its place and it just stands there;it does not move from its place.Even when someone cries out to it, it does not reply;it does not deliver him from his distress.

8. Remember this, so you can be brave!Think about it, you rebels!

9. Remember what I accomplished in antiquity!Truly I am God, I have no peer;I am God, and there is none like me,
