The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.
And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man doth send unto me to recover a man of his leprosy? wherefore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel against me.
For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.
Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?
Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.
I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
