Did I not proclaim this and foretell it long ago?

You are my witnesses. Is there any God besides me?

No, there is no other Rock; I know not one.”

9 All who make idols are nothing,

and the things they treasure are worthless.

Those who would speak up for them are blind;

they are ignorant, to their own shame.

8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid:

Have not I told thee from that time,

And have declared it? ye are even my witnesses.

Is there a God beside me?

Yea, there is no God; I know not any.

And their delectable things shall not profit;

And they are their own witnesses;

They see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.

Did I not proclaim my purposes for you long ago?

You are my witnesses—is there any other God?

No! There is no other Rock—not one!”

Have I not told you from that time, and declared it?

You are My witnesses.

Is there a God besides Me?

Indeed there is no other Rock;

I know not one.’ ”

I have always told you what will happen.

You are my witnesses.

There is no other God but me.

I know of no other Rock; I am the only One.”

9 Some people make idols, but they are worth nothing.

People treasure them, but they are useless.

Those people are witnesses for the statues, but those people cannot see.

8 Don’t be terrified or afraid. 

Didn’t I make this known to you long ago? 

You are my witnesses. 

Is there any God except me? 

There is no ⸤other⸥ rock; I know of none. 

9 All who make idols are nothing. Their precious treasures are worthless. Their own witnesses do not see or know anything, so they will be put to shame.

You are my witnesses!

Is there any God but Me?

There is no other Rock; I do not know any.

9 All who make idols are nothing,

and what they treasure does not profit.

You are my witnesses!

Is there any god besides me?

8 You must not tremble,

and you must not be paralyzed with fear.

Have I not made you hear from of old

and declared it, and you are my witnesses?

Didn’t I tell you about it long ago?

You are my witnesses. Is there any other God but me?

No! There is no other Rock. I do not know even one.”

9 Those who make statues of gods don’t amount to anything.

And the statues they think so much of are worthless.

So they will be put to shame.

8 ‘Do not tremble and do not be afraid;

Have I not long since announced it to you and declared it?

And you are My witnesses.

Is there any God besides Me,

Or is there any other Rock?

I know of none.’ ”

9 Those who fashion a graven image are all of them futile, and their precious things are of no profit; even their own witnesses fail to see or know, so that they will be put to shame.
