10  ^z“You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord,

“and ^amy servant whom I have chosen,

that you may know and believe me

and understand that I am he.

^bBefore me no god was formed,

nor shall there be any after me.

11  ^cI, I am the Lord,

and besides me there is no savior.

6  Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel

and ⁱhis Redeemer, the Lord of hosts:

^j“I am the first and I am the last;

besides me there is no god.

7  ^kWho is like me? Let him proclaim it.¹

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.

8  Fear not, nor be afraid;

have I not told you from of old and declared it?

^lAnd you are my witnesses!

^mIs there a God besides me?

There is no ⁿRock; I know not any.”

24  Thus says the Lord, ^eyour Redeemer,

^fwho formed you from the womb:

^g“I am the Lord, who made all things,

^hwho alone stretched out the heavens,

who spread out the earth by myself,

25  who frustrates the signs of liars

and makes fools of diviners,

ⁱwho turns wise men back

and makes their knowledge foolish,

5  ^xI am the Lord, and there is no other,

besides me there is no God;

^yI equip you, though you do not know me,

6  ^zthat 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.

18  ^vFor thus says the Lord,

who created the heavens

(he is God!),

who formed the earth and made it

(he established it;

he ^wdid not create it empty,

^xhe formed it to be inhabited!):

“I am the Lord, and there is no other.

19  ^yI did not speak in secret,

in a land of darkness;

I did not say to the offspring of Jacob,

^z‘Seek me in vain.’¹

I the Lord speak ^athe truth;

I declare what is right.

20  ^b“Assemble yourselves and come;

draw near together,

you survivors of the nations!

^cThey have no knowledge

who ^dcarry about their wooden idols,

^eand keep on praying to a god

that cannot save.

21  ^fDeclare and present your case;

let them take counsel together!

Who told this long ago?

Who declared it of old?

Was it not I, the Lord?

And there is no other god besides me,

a righteous God ^gand a Savior;

there is none besides me.

22  “Turn to me and be saved,

^hall the ends of the earth!

For I am God, and there is no other.

23  ⁱBy myself I have sworn;

from my mouth has gone out in ^jrighteousness

a word that shall not return:

^k‘To me every knee shall bow,

every tongue shall swear allegiance.’²

24  ^l“Only in the Lord, it shall be said of me,

are righteousness and ^mstrength;

to him shall come and be ashamed

ⁿall who were incensed against him.
