‘I am the ^(C)first, and I am the last,
And there is no God ^(D)besides Me.
⁷ Who is like Me? ^(E)Let him call out and declare it;
And let him tell it to Me in order,
^[a]From the time that I established the ancient ^[b]people.
And let them declare to them the things that are to come
And the events that are going to take place.
⁸ Do not be in dread and do not be afraid;
^(F)Have I not long since caused it to be heard to you and declared it?
And ^(G)you are My witnesses.
Is there any God ^(H)besides Me,
Or is there any other ^(I)Rock?
I know of none.’”
