5 “With whom will you compare me or count me equal?

To whom will you liken me that we may be compared?

3 Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob,

And all the remnant of the house of Israel,

Which are borne by me from the belly,

Which are carried from the womb:

4 And even to your old age I am he;

And even to hoar hairs will I carry you:

I have made, and I will bear;

Even I will carry, and will deliver you.

5 To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal,

And compare me, that we may be like?

3 “Listen to me, descendants of Jacob,

all you who remain in Israel.

I have cared for you since you were born.

Yes, I carried you before you were born.

4 I will be your God throughout your lifetime—

until your hair is white with age.

I made you, and I will care for you.

I will carry you along and save you.

5 “To whom will you compare me?

Who is my equal?

3 “Listen to Me, O house of Jacob,

And all the remnant of the house of Israel,

Who have been upheld by Me from birth,

Who have been carried from the womb:

4 Even to your old age, I am He,

And even to gray hairs I will carry you!

I have made, and I will bear;

Even I will carry, and will deliver you.

5 “To whom will you liken Me, and make Me equal

And compare Me, that we should be alike?

3 “Family of Jacob, listen to me!

All you people from Israel who are still alive, listen!

I have taken care of you from your birth.

4 Even when you are old, I will be the same.

Even when your hair has turned gray, I will take care of you.

I made you and will take care of you.

I will carry you and save you.

5 “Can you compare me to anyone?

No one is equal to me or like me.

3 Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, that have been borne by me from their birth, that have been carried from the womb; 4 and even to old age I am he, and even to hoar hairs will I carry you; I have made, and I will bear; yea, I will carry, and will deliver. 5 To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?

3 Hearken unto me, house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, ye who have been borne from the belly, who have been carried from the womb: 4 Even to old age, I am HE, and unto hoary hairs I will carry you: It is I that have made, and I will bear, and I will carry, and will deliver.

5 To whom will ye liken me and make me equal, or compare me, that we may be like?

3 Listen to me, descendants of Jacob, 

the few people left of the nation of Israel. 

I’ve carried you since your birth. 

I’ve taken care of you from the time you were born. 

4 Even when you’re old, I’ll take care of you. 

Even when your hair turns gray, I’ll support you. 

I made you and will continue to care for you. 

I’ll support you and save you. 

5 To whom will you compare me and make me equal? 

To whom will you compare me so that we can be alike? 

3 “Listen to Me, house of Jacob,

all the remnant of the house of Israel,

who have been sustained from the womb,

carried along since birth.

4 I will be the same until your old age,

and I will bear you up when you turn gray.

I have made you, and I will carry you;

I will bear and save you.

5 “Who will you compare Me or make Me equal to?

Who will you measure Me with,

so that we should be like each other?

3 Listen to me, O house of Jacob,

all the remnant of the house of Israel,

who have been borne by me from your birth,

carried from the womb;

4 even to your old age I am he,

even when you turn gray I will carry you.

I have made, and I will bear;

I will carry and will save.

5 To whom will you liken me and make me equal,

and compare me, as though we were alike?

3 “Listen to me, house of Jacob,

and all the remnant of the house of Israel

who have been carried from the belly,

who have been carried from the womb:

4 Even to your old age I am he;

even to your advanced age I myself will support you.

I myself have made you,

and I myself will carry you,

and I myself will support you,

and I will save you.

5 To whom will you liken me,

and count as equal,

and compare with me,

as though we were alike?

3 The Lord says, “Family of Jacob, listen to me.

Pay attention, you people of Israel who are left alive.

I have taken good care of you since your life began.

I have carried you since you were born as a nation.

4 I will continue to carry you even when you are old.

I will take good care of you even when your hair is gray.

I have made you. And I will carry you.

I will take care of you. And I will save you.

I am the Lord.

5 “Who will you compare me to?

Who is equal to me?

What am I like?

Who can you compare me to?

3 “Listen to Me, O house of Jacob,

And all the remnant of the house of Israel,

You who have been borne by Me from birth

And have been carried from the womb;

4 Even to your old age I will be the same,

And even to your graying years I will bear you!

I have done it, and I will carry you;

And I will bear you and I will deliver you.

5 “To whom would you liken Me

And make Me equal and compare Me,

That we would be alike?
