“Thus says Yahweh, the (A)King of Israel and his (B)Redeemer, Yahweh of hosts:

‘I am the (C)first, and I am the last,
And there is no God (D)besides Me.
Who is like Me? (E)Let him call out and declare it;
And let him tell it to Me in order,
[a]From the time that I established the ancient [b]people.
And let them declare to them the things that are to come
And the events that are going to take place.
Do not be in dread and do not be afraid;
(F)Have I not long since caused it to be heard to you and declared it?
And (G)you are My witnesses.
Is there any God (H)besides Me,
Or is there any other (I)Rock?
I know of none.’”

The Lord, Not Idols

“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)
Who then is like me?(E) 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(F) what will come.
Do not tremble, do not be afraid.
    Did I not proclaim(G) this and foretell it long ago?
You are my witnesses. Is there any God(H) besides me?
    No, there is no other Rock;(I) I know not one.”
