Isaiah 44:6-11
New International Version
The Lord, Not Idols
6 “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)
7 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.
8 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.”
9 All who make idols(J) are nothing,
and the things they treasure are worthless.(K)
Those who would speak up for them are blind;(L)
they are ignorant, to their own shame.(M)
10 Who shapes a god and casts an idol,(N)
which can profit nothing?(O)
11 People who do that will be put to shame;(P)
such craftsmen are only human beings.
Let them all come together and take their stand;
they will be brought down to terror and shame.(Q)
