Isaiah 44:6-11
English Standard Version
Besides Me There Is No God
6 Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel
and (A)his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts:
(B)“I am the first and I am the last;
besides me there is no god.
7 (C)Who is like me? Let him proclaim it.[a]
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?
(D)And you are my witnesses!
(E)Is there a God besides me?
There is no (F)Rock; I know not any.”
The Folly of Idolatry
9 (G)All who fashion idols are nothing, and the things they delight in do not profit. Their witnesses neither see nor know, that they may be put to shame. 10 (H)Who fashions a god or casts an idol that is profitable for nothing? 11 (I)Behold, all his companions shall be put to shame, and the craftsmen are only human. Let them all assemble, let them stand forth. They shall be terrified; they shall be put to shame together.
