Isaiah 44:1-8

1“But now listen, Jacob, My 1servant, And Israel, whom I have chosen:2This is what the Lord says, He who made you And 2formed you from the womb, who 3will help you: ‘4Do not fear, Jacob My servant, And 56Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.3For 7I will pour water on 8the thirsty land And streams on the dry ground; I will 9pour out My Spirit on your 10offspring, And My blessing on your descendants;4And they will spring up 11among the grass Like 12poplars by streams of water.’5This one will say, ‘I am the Lord’s’; And that one 13will call on the name of Jacob; And another will 14write 15on his hand, ‘Belonging to the Lord,’ And will give himself Israel’s name with honor.

6“This is what the Lord says, He who is the 16King of Israel and his 17Redeemer, the Lord of armies: ‘I am the 18first and I am the last, And there is no God 19besides Me.7Who is like Me? 20Let him proclaim and declare it; And, let him confront Me 21Beginning with My establishing of the ancient 22nation. Then 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; 23Have I not long since announced it to you and declared it? And 24you are My witnesses. Is there any God 25besides Me, Or is there any other 26Rock? I know of none.’”
