4 Even to old age I `am' He, and to grey hairs I carry, I made, and I bear, yea, I carry and deliver.
And also unto old age and grey hairs, O God, forsake me not, Till I declare Thy strength to a generation, To every one that cometh Thy might.
Even from the day I `am' He, And there is no deliverer from My hand, I work, and who doth turn it back?
That this God `is' our God -- To the age and for ever, He -- he doth lead us over death!
Still they bring forth in old age, Fat and flourishing are they,
and as a mantle Thou shall roll them together, and they shall be changed, and Thou art the same, and Thy years shall not fail.'
every good giving, and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no variation, or shadow of turning;
I -- I `am' He who is blotting out Thy transgressions for Mine own sake, And thy sins I do not remember.
Jesus Christ yesterday and to-day the same, and to the ages;

Isa 46:5-13
The deliverance of Israel by the destruction of Babylon (the general subject of all these chapters) is here insisted upon, and again promised, for the conviction both of idolaters who set up as rivals with God, and of oppressors who were enemies to the people of God.
