4 and they shall spring up as among the grass,as willows by the water courses.
5 One will say, “I am the Lord’s”;another will call himself by the name of Jacob;and another will write on his hand, “Belonging to the Lord,”and name himself by the name of Israel.
6 Thus says the Lord the King of Israel,and his Redeemer the Lord of Hosts:I am the first, and I am the last;besides Me there is no God.
7 Who is like Me? Let him proclaimand declare it, and recount it in order for Me,since I appointed the ancient people.And let them declare to them the things that are coming,and shall come.
8 Do not fear, nor be afraid;have I not told you from of old, and declared it?You are My witnesses!Is there a God besides Me?There is no Rock; I know not any.
9 Those who make a graven image are, all of them, vain,and their delectable things shall not profit;and they are their own witnesses;they do not see nor know, that they may be ashamed.
10 Who has formed a god or molded a graven imagethat is profitable for nothing?
