Isaiah 44:6-8
New American Standard Bible
6 “This is what the Lord says, He who is the (A)King of Israel and his (B)Redeemer, the Lord of armies:
‘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 proclaim and declare it;
And, let him confront Me
[a]Beginning with My establishing of the ancient [b]nation.
Then let them declare to them the things that are coming
And the events that are going to take place.
8 Do not tremble and do not be afraid;
(F)Have I not long since announced it 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.’”

International Standard Version
I am the First and the Last
6 This is what the Lord says, the King of Israel
and its Redeemer—
the Lord of the Heavenly Armies is his name—[a]
“I am the first and I am the last,
and apart from me there is no God.
7 Who is like me? Let him proclaim
and declare it, and lay it out for himself—[b]
since he made[c] an ancient people.
And let him speak[d] future events;
let them tell him what[e] will happen.
8 Don’t tremble, and don’t be afraid.[f]
Didn’t I tell you and announce it long ago?
You are my witnesses.
Is there any God besides me?
There is no other Rock—
I don’t know of any.”
