Isaiah 44:1-8

1“But now listen, O Jacob, My 1servant, And Israel, whom I have chosen:2Thus says the Lord who made you And 2formed you from the womb, who 3will help you, ‘4Do not fear, O Jacob My servant; And you 5Jeshurun whom I have chosen.3For 6I will pour out water on 7the thirsty land And streams on the dry ground; I will 8pour out My Spirit on your 9offspring And My blessing on your descendants;4And they will spring up 10among the grass Like 11poplars by streams of water.’5This one will say, ‘I am the Lord’s’; And that one 12will call on the name of Jacob; And another will 13write 14on his hand, ‘Belonging to the Lord,’ And will name Israel’s name with honor.

6“Thus says the Lord, the 15King of Israel and his 16Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: ‘I am the 17first and I am the last, And there is no God 18besides Me.7Who is like Me? 19Let him proclaim and declare it; Yes, let him recount it to Me in order, 20From the time that I established the ancient 21nation. And let them declare to them the things that are coming And the events that are going to take place.8Do not tremble and do not be afraid; 22Have I not long since announced it to you and declared it? And 23you are My witnesses. Is there any God 24besides Me, Or is there any other 25Rock? I know of none.’”
