Idolatry Condemned

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.
Who is like Me? Let him proclaim
    and declare it, and recount it in order for Me,
since I appointed the ancient people.
    And let them declare to them the things that are coming,
    and shall come.
Do not fear, nor be afraid;
    have I not told you from of old, and declared it?
    You are My witnesses!
Is there a God besides Me?
    There is no 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!”
