Isaiah 45:5-7

Good News Translation

⁵ “I am the Lord; there is no other god.
    I will give you the strength you need,
    although you do not know me.
⁶ I do this so that everyone
    from one end of the world to the other
    may know that I am the Lord
    and that there is no other god.
⁷ I create both light and darkness;
    I bring both blessing and disaster.
    I, the Lord, do all these things.
