44 “But now hear, ^(A)O Jacob my servant,
    Israel whom I have chosen!
² Thus says the Lord who made you,
    ^(B)who formed you from the womb and will help you:
^(C)Fear not, O Jacob my servant,
    ^(D)Jeshurun whom I have chosen.

⁶ Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel
    and ^(A)his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts:
^(B)“I am the first and I am the last;
    besides me there is no god.
^7 (C)Who is like me? Let him proclaim it.^[a]
    Let him declare and set it before me,
since I appointed an ancient people.
    Let them declare what is to come, and what will happen.
