    and ^(A)level the exalted places,^[a]
(B)I will break in pieces the doors of bronze
    and cut through the bars of iron,

    and the hoards in secret places,
that you may know that it is I, the Lord,

^(E)I call you by your name,

^5 (G)I am the Lord, and there is no other,
    besides me there is no God;
    ^(H)I equip you, though you do not know me,
^6 (I)that people may know, from the rising of the sun
    and from the west, that there is none besides me;
    I am the Lord, and there is no other.
⁷ I form light and create darkness;
    I make well-being and ^(J)create calamity;
    I am the Lord, who does all these things.
