View In My Bible
10
"You are my witnesses,1" declares the LORD, "and my servant2 whom I have chosen, so that you may know3 and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god4 was formed, nor will there be one after me.5
11
I, even I, am the LORD,6 and apart from me there is no savior.7
12
I have revealed and saved and proclaimed-- I, and not some foreign god8 among you. You are my witnesses,9" declares the LORD, "that I am God.
13
Yes, and from ancient days10 I am he.11 No one can deliver out of my hand. When I act, who can reverse it?"12
