46:4 Even when you are old, I will take care of you, 1
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. 2
47:6 I was angry at my people;
I defiled my special possession
and handed them over to you.
You showed them no mercy; 3
you even placed a very heavy burden on old people. 4
