Isaiah 44:1-8 ▼

1 And now listen, Jacob My servant, Israel whom I have chosen.

2 This is the word of the LORD your Maker who formed you from the womb; He will help you: Do not fear; Jacob is My servant; I have chosen Jeshurun.

3 For I will pour water on the thirsty land and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out My Spirit on your descendants and My blessing on your offspring.

4 They will sprout among the grass like poplars by flowing streams.

5 This one will say, ‘I am the LORD’s; another will call himself by the name of Jacob; still another will write on his hand, ‘The LORD’s,’ and name himself by the name of Israel.”

6 This is what the LORD, the King of Israel and its Redeemer, the LORD of Hosts, says: I am the first and I am the last. There is no God but Me.

7 Who, like Me, can announce the future? Let him say so and make a case before Me, since I have established an ancient people. Let these gods declare the coming things, and what will take place.

8 Do not be startled or afraid. Have I not told you and declared it long ago? You are my witnesses! Is there any God but Me? There is no other Rock; I do not know any.
