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.

⁸ Fear not, nor be afraid;
    have I not told you from of old and declared it?
    ^(A)And you are my witnesses!
^(B)Is there a God besides me?
    There is no ^(C)Rock; I know not any.”
