6“ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559, He who is the 16KingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and his 17RedeemerH1350, the LordH3068 of armiesH6635: ‘I am the 18firstH7223 and I am the lastH314, And thereH369 isH369 noH369 GodH430 19besidesH4480H1107 Me.7WhoH4310 is likeH3644 Me? 20Let him proclaimH7121 and declareH5046 it; And, let him confrontH6186 Me 21Beginning with My establishingH7760 of the ancientH5769 22nationH5971. Then 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 beH3385 afraidH3385; 23Have I not longH3975 sinceH3975 announcedH8085 it to you and declaredH5046 it? And 24you are My witnessesH5707. IsH3426 thereH3426 anyH3426 GodH433 25besidesH4480H1107 Me, Or is there any other 26RockH6697? I knowH3045 of noneH1077.’”
