Isaiah 45:5-8
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 I am the Lord, and there is no other;
besides me there is no god.
I arm you, though you do not know me,(A)
6 so that they may know, from the rising of the sun
and from the west, that there is no one besides me;
I am the Lord, and there is no other.(B)
7 I form light and create darkness,
I make weal and create woe;
I the Lord do all these things.(C)
8 Shower, O heavens, from above,
and let the skies rain down righteousness;
let the earth open, that salvation may spring up,[a]
and let it cause righteousness to sprout up also;
I the Lord have created it.(D)
