Isaiah 44:6–8

Besides Me There Is No God

6  Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel

and ihis Redeemer, the Lord of hosts:

j“I am the first and I am the last;

besides me there is no god.

7  kWho is like me? Let him proclaim it.1

Let him declare and set it before me,

since I appointed an ancient people.

Let them declare what is to come, and what will happen.

8  Fear not, nor be afraid;

have I not told you from of old and declared it?

lAnd you are my witnesses!

mIs there a God besides me?

There is no nRock; I know not any.”
