No God Besides Yahweh
“But now hear, O Jacob, My aservant,
And Israel, whom I have chosen:
2 Thus says Yahweh who made you
And aformed you from the womb, who bwill help you,
‘cDo not fear, O Jacob My servant,
And you dJeshurun whom I have chosen.
3 For aI will pour out water on the thirsty ground
And streams on the dry land;
I will bpour out My Spirit on your cseed
And My blessing on your offspring;
4 And they will spring up among the grass
Like apoplars by streams of water.’
5 This one will say, ‘I am Yahweh’s’;
And this one will call on the name of Jacob;
And this one will awrite on his hand, ‘Belonging to Yahweh,’
And will name Israel’s name with honor.
6 “Thus says Yahweh, the aKing of Israel and his bRedeemer, Yahweh of hosts:
‘I am the cfirst, and I am the last,
And there is no God dbesides Me.
7 Who is like Me? aLet him call out and declare it;
And let him tell it to Me in order,
From the time that I established the ancient people.
And let them declare to them the things that are to come
And the events that are going to take place.
8 Do not be in dread and do not be afraid;
aHave I not long since caused it to be heard to you and declared it?
And byou are My witnesses.
Is there any God cbesides Me,
Or is there any other dRock?
I know of none.’”
