They stoop ^{7164 , 8804} , they bow down ^{3766 , 8804} together ³¹⁶² ; they could ^{3201 , 8804} not deliver ^{4422 , 8763} the burden ⁴⁸⁵³ , but themselves ⁵³¹⁵ are gone ^{1980 , 8804} into captivity ⁷⁶²⁸ . [themselves: Heb. their soul]

Hearken ^{8085 , 8798} unto me, O house ¹⁰⁰⁴ of Jacob ³²⁹⁰ , and all the remnant ⁷⁶¹¹ of the house ¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel ³⁴⁷⁸ , which are borne ^{6006 , 8803} by me from the belly ⁹⁹⁰ , which are carried ^{5375 , 8803} from the womb ⁷³⁵⁶ :

And even to your old age ²²⁰⁹ I am he; and even to hoar hairs ⁷⁸⁷² will I carry ^{5445 , 8799} you : I have made ^{6213 , 8804} , and I will bear ^{5375 , 8799} ; even I will carry ^{5445 , 8799} , and will deliver ^{4422 , 8762} you .

To whom will ye liken ^{1819 , 8762} me, and make me equal ^{7737 , 8686} , and compare ^{4911 , 8686} me, that we may be like ^{1819 , 8799} ?

They lavish ^{2107 , 8801} gold ²⁰⁹¹ out of the bag ³⁵⁹⁹ , and weigh ^{8254 , 8799} silver ³⁷⁰¹ in the balance ⁷⁰⁷⁰ , and hire ^{7936 , 8799} a goldsmith ^{6884 , 8802} ; and he maketh ^{6213 , 8799} it a god ⁴¹⁰ : they fall down ^{5456 , 8799} , yea, they worship ^{7812 , 8691} .

They bear ^{5375 , 8799} him upon the shoulder ³⁸⁰² , they carry ^{5445 , 8799} him, and set him in his place ^{3240 , 8686} , and he standeth ^{5975 , 8799} ; from his place ⁴⁷²⁵ shall he not remove ^{4185 , 8686} : yea, one shall cry ^{6817 , 8799} unto him, yet can he not answer ^{6030 , 8799} , nor save ^{3467 , 8686} him out of his trouble ⁶⁸⁶⁹ .

Remember ^{2142 , 8798} this, and shew yourselves men ^{377 , 8695} : bring it again ^{7725 , 8685} to mind ³⁸²⁰ , O ye transgressors ^{6586 , 8802} .

Remember ^{2142 , 8798} the former things ⁷²²³ of old ⁵⁷⁶⁹ : for I am God ⁴¹⁰ , and there is none else; I am God ⁴³⁰ , and there is none ⁶⁵⁷ like ³⁶⁴⁴ me,

Declaring ^{5046 , 8688} the end ³¹⁹ from the beginning ⁷²²⁵ , and from ancient times ⁶⁹²⁴ the things that are not yet done ^{6213 , 8738} , saying ^{559 , 8802} , My counsel ⁶⁰⁹⁸ shall stand ^{6965 , 8799} , and I will do ^{6213 , 8799} all my pleasure ²⁶⁵⁶ :

Calling ^{7121 , 8802} a ravenous bird ⁵⁸⁶¹ from the east ⁴²¹⁷ , the man ³⁷⁶ that executeth my counsel ⁶⁰⁹⁸ from a far ⁴⁸⁰¹ country ⁷⁷⁶ : yea, I have spoken ^{1696 , 8765} it , I will also bring ^{935 , 8686} it to pass; I have purposed ^{3335 , 8804} it , I will also do ^{6213 , 8799} it. [that...: Heb. of my counsel]

Hearken ^{8085 , 8798} unto me, ye stouthearted ^{47 , 3820} , that are far from ⁷³⁵⁰ righteousness ⁶⁶⁶⁶ :

I bring near ^{7126 , 8765} my righteousness ⁶⁶⁶⁶ ; it shall not be far off ^{7368 , 8799} , and my salvation ⁸⁶⁶⁸ shall not tarry ^{309 , 8762} : and I will place ^{5414 , 8804} salvation ⁸⁶⁶⁸ in Zion ⁶⁷²⁶ for Israel ³⁴⁷⁸ my glory ⁸⁵⁹⁷ .
