No God Other Than the Lord

This is what the Lord, the King of Israel and its Redeemer,(A) the Lord of Armies, says:

I am the first and I am the last.(B)
There is no God but me.(C)
Who, like me, can announce the future?
Let him say so and make a case before me,(D)
since I have established an ancient people.
Let these gods declare[a] the coming things,
and what will take place.
Do not be startled or afraid.
Have I not told you and declared it long ago?
You are my witnesses!(E)
Is there any God but me?(F)
There is no other Rock;(G) I do not know any.

  1. 44:7 Lit declare them

The Lord, Israel’s king and redeemer,
    the Lord of heavenly forces, says:
I am the first, and I am the last,
    and besides me there are no gods.
Who is like me?
    Let them speak up, explain it, and lay it out for me.
Who announced long ago what is to be?[a]
    Let them tell us[b] what is to come.
Don’t tremble; have no fear!
    Didn’t I proclaim it?
    Didn’t I inform you long ago?
You are my witnesses!
    Is there a God besides me?
    There is no other rock; I know of none.
