⁶ “This is what the Lord says—
    Israel’s King^(A) and Redeemer,^(B) the Lord Almighty:
I am the first and I am the last;^(C)
    apart from me there is no God.^(D)

⁸ Do not tremble, do not be afraid.
    Did I not proclaim^(A) this and foretell it long ago?
You are my witnesses. Is there any God^(B) besides me?
    No, there is no other Rock;^(C) I know not one.”
