⁸ Remember this and consider;^[a]
    recall it to mind, you transgressors;^(A)
9     remember the former things of old,
for I am God, and there is no other;
    I am God, and there is no one like me,^(B)

⁶ Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel,
    and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts:
I am the first, and I am the last;
    besides me there is no god.^(A)
7 Who is like me? Let them proclaim it;
    let them declare and set it forth before me.
Who has announced from of old the things to come?^[a]
    Let them tell us^[b] what is yet to be.^(B)
8 Do not fear or be afraid;
    have I not told you from of old and declared it?
    You are my witnesses!
Is there any god besides me?
    There is no other rock; I know not one.^(C)

²¹ Have you not known? Have you not heard?
    Has it not been told you from the beginning?
    Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?^(A)
22 It is he who sits above the circle of the earth,
    and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers,
who stretches out the heavens like a curtain
    and spreads them like a tent to live in,^(B)
