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:
Listen to me, people of Jacob and all who remain from Israel, you whom I have carried since before you were born, whom I have supported from the time you were in your mother's womb.
God is reminding His people that He has been carrying and caring for them from before they were even born, like a loving parent who never lets go.
