“Thus says the Lord, the (A)King of Israel and his (B)Redeemer, the Lord 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 proclaim and declare it;
Yes, let him recount it to Me in order,
[a]From the time that I established the ancient [b]nation.
And let them declare to them the things that are coming
And the events that are going to take place.
‘Do not tremble and do not be afraid;
(F)Have I not long since announced it 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.’”

“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.”
