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

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)
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)
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)
