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.
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.

The gods of the nations must have looked rather odd riding on the backs of animals. Even gods of the once-feared Babylonians, Bel and Nebo, are nothing but dead weight.

Eternal One: Listen, you who count yourselves among Jacob’s descendants,
        all the remnant of Israel.
    It is you, not I, who have been carried from before you were born.
        Indeed, when you were still in the womb, I was taking care of you.
    And when you are old, I will still be there, carrying you.
        When your limbs grow tired, your eyes are weak,
    And your hair a silvery gray, I will carry you as I always have.
        I will carry you and save you.

And all (B)the remnant of the house of Israel,
You who have been (C)carried by Me from [a]birth
And have been carried from the womb;
Even to your old age (D)I [b]will be the same,
And even to your [c](E)graying years I will [d]carry you!
I have [e]done it, and I will bear you;
And I will [f]carry you and I will save you.

Y todo el remanente(B) de la casa de Israel,
Los que han sido llevados por Mí desde el vientre(C),
Cargados desde la matriz.
Aun hasta su vejez, Yo seré el mismo[a](D),
Y hasta sus años avanzados[b](E), Yo los sostendré.
Yo lo he hecho[c], y Yo los cargaré;
Yo los sostendré, y Yo los libraré.
