¹² I have declared and saved,
I have proclaimed,
And there was no ^(A)foreign god among you;
^(B)Therefore you are My witnesses,”
Says the Lord, “that I am God.

⁹ There shall be no ^(A)foreign god among you;
Nor shall you worship any foreign god.
^10 (B)I am the Lord your God,
Who brought you out of the land of Egypt;
^(C)Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

¹² So the Lord alone led him,
And there was no foreign god with him.

⁸ Do not fear, nor be afraid;
^(A)Have I not told you from that time, and declared it?
^(B)You are My witnesses.
Is there a God besides Me?
Indeed ^(C)there is no other Rock;
I know not one.’ ”

¹⁰ “You^(A) are My witnesses,” says the Lord,
^(B)“And My servant whom I have chosen,
That you may know and ^(C)believe Me,
And understand that I am He.
Before Me there was no God formed,
Nor shall there be after Me.

⁴ Because I knew that you were ^[a]obstinate,
And ^(A)your neck was an iron sinew,
And your brow bronze,
⁵ Even from the beginning I have declared it to you;
Before it came to pass I proclaimed it to you,
Lest you should say, ‘My idol has done them,
And my carved image and my molded image
Have commanded them.’

^9 (A)Remember the former things of old,
For I am God, and ^(B)there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like Me,
^10 (C)Declaring the end from the beginning,
And from ancient times things that are not yet done,
Saying, ^(D)‘My counsel shall stand,
And I will do all My pleasure,’
