4 And to old age I am he, and to grey hairs I will support; I have made, and I will carry; and I will support, and will deliver you.
5 To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, and we shall be like?

7 They lift him upon the shoulder; they support him, they set him in his place, and he standeth; he moveth not from his place; yea, one shall cry unto him, and he shall not answer, he shall not save him from his distress,
