And let them declareH5046 to them the thingsH857 that are comingH857 And the events that are going to takeH935 placeH935.8Do not trembleH6342 and do not be afraidH3385; 22Have I not longH3975 sinceH3975 announcedH8085 it to you and declaredH5046 it? And 23you are My witnessesH5707. Is thereH3426 anyH3426 GodH433 24besidesH4480H1107 Me, Or is thereH369 any other 25RockH6697? I knowH3045 of noneH1077.’”
