Whom bI have created for My glory;
I have formed him, yes, I have made him.”
And let the people be assembled.
aWho among them can declare this,
And show us former things?
Let them bring out their witnesses, that they may be justified;
Or let them hear and say, “It is truth.”
b“And My servant whom I have chosen,
That you may know and cbelieve Me,
And understand that I am He.
Before Me there was no God formed,
Nor shall there be after Me.
I have proclaimed,
And there was no aforeign god among you;
bTherefore you are My witnesses,”
Says the Lord, “that I am God.
And there is no one who can deliver out of My hand;
I work, and who will breverse it?”
The Holy One of Israel:
“For your sake I will send to Babylon,
And bring them all down as fugitives—
The Chaldeans, who rejoice in their ships.
