Besides Me There Is No God

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.
(C)Who is like me? Let him proclaim it.[a]
    Let him declare and set it before me,
since I appointed an ancient people.
    Let them declare what is to come, and what will happen.
Fear not, nor be afraid;
    have I not told you from of old and declared it?
    (D)And you are my witnesses!
(E)Is there a God besides me?
    There is no (F)Rock; I know not any.”

Yahweh the Only God

Thus says Yahweh, the king of Israel,
    and its redeemer, Yahweh of hosts:
“I am the first, and I am the last,
    and there is no god besides me.
And who is like me? Let him proclaim[a] it!
    And let him declare it and set it in order for me
since I established an eternal people[b] and things that are to come,
    and let them tell them the things that are coming.
You must not tremble,[c]
    and you must not be paralyzed with fear.
Have I not made you hear from of old[d]
    and declared it, and you are my witnesses?
Is there a god besides me?
    And there is no rock! I know none!”
