Another will call himself by the name of Jacob;
Another will write with his hand, ‘The Lord’s,’
And name himself by the name of Israel.
Another will call himself by the name of Jacob;
Another will write with his hand, ‘The Lord’s,’
And name himself by the name of Israel.
There Is No Other God
6 “Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel,
And his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts:
a‘I am the First and I am the Last;
Besides Me there is no God.
And his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts:
a‘I am the First and I am the Last;
Besides Me there is no God.
7 And awho can proclaim as I do?
Then let him declare it and set it in order for Me,
Since I appointed the ancient people.
And the things that are coming and shall come,
Let them show these to them.
Then let him declare it and set it in order for Me,
Since I appointed the ancient people.
And the things that are coming and shall come,
Let them show these to them.
8 Do not fear, nor be afraid;
aHave I not told you from that time, and declared it?
bYou are My witnesses.
Is there a God besides Me?
Indeed cthere is no other Rock;
I know not one.’ ”

Idolatry Is Foolishness
9 aThose who make an image, all of them are useless,
And their precious things shall not profit;
They are their own witnesses;
bThey neither see nor know, that they may be ashamed.
And their precious things shall not profit;
They are their own witnesses;
bThey neither see nor know, that they may be ashamed.
