Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.
But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.
Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.
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.
