“You are my witness,” says the Lord, “And My servant whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, And understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me.
I, even I, am the Lord, and besides Me there is no saviour.
I have declared and saved, I have proclaimed, And there was no foreign god among you; Therefore you are my witnesses,” says the Lord, “that I am God.
Indeed before the day was, I am He; and there is no one who can deliver out of My hand; I work, and ho will reverse it?”
Isaiah 43:10-13
