ESVEnglish Standard Version

Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel

and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts:

“I am the first and I am the last;

besides me there is no god.

Who is like me? Let him proclaim it.

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.

Fear not, nor be afraid;

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

And you are my witnesses!

Is there a God besides me?

There is no Rock; I know not any.”

NIVNew International Version (2011)

“This is what the Lord says—

Israel’s King and Redeemer, the Lord Almighty:

I am the first and I am the last;

apart from me there is no God.

Who then is like me? Let him proclaim it.

Let him declare and lay out before me

what has happened since I established my ancient people,

and what is yet to come—

yes, let them foretell what will come.

Do not tremble, do not be afraid.

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.”

CSBChristian Standard Bible

This is what the Lord, the King of Israel and its Redeemer, the Lord of Armies, says:

I am the first and I am the last.

There is no God but me.

Who, like me, can announce the future?

Let him say so and make a case before me,

since I have established an ancient people.

Let these gods declare the coming things,

and what will take place.

Do not be startled or afraid.

Have I not told you and declared it long ago?

You are my witnesses!

Is there any God but me?

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

NLTNew Living Translation

This is what the Lord says—Israel’s King and Redeemer, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies:

“I am the First and the Last;

there is no other God.

Who is like me?

Let him step forward and prove to you his power.

Let him do as I have done since ancient times

when I established a people and explained its future.

Do not tremble; do not be afraid.

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!”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Thus says Yahweh, the king of Israel,

and its redeemer, Yahweh of hosts:

“I am the first, and I am the last,

and there is no god besides me.

And who is like me? Let him proclaim it!

And let him declare it and set it in order for me

since I established an eternal people and things that are to come,

and let them tell them the things that are coming.

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?

Is there a god besides me?

And there is no rock! I know none!”
