Isaiah 44:6-8
Lexham English Bible
Yahweh the Only God
6 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.
7 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.
8 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!”

Isaiah 44:6-8
Common English Bible
6 The Lord, Israel’s king and redeemer,
the Lord of heavenly forces, says:
I am the first, and I am the last,
and besides me there are no gods.
7 Who is like me?
Let them speak up, explain it, and lay it out for me.
Who announced long ago what is to be?[a]
Let them tell us[b] what is to come.
8 Don’t tremble; have no fear!
Didn’t I proclaim it?
Didn’t I inform you long ago?
You are my witnesses!
Is there a God besides me?
There is no other rock; I know of none.
