Isaiah 44:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴ They will spring up like grass in a meadow.
    They will grow like poplar trees near flowing streams.
⁵ Some will say, ‘We belong to the Lord.’
    Others will call themselves by Jacob’s name.
Still others will write on their hands,
    ‘We belong to the Lord.’
    And they will be called by the name of Israel.

⁶ “I am Israel’s King. I set them free.
    I am the Lord who rules over all.
    So listen to what I am saying.
I am the first and the last.
    I am the one and only God.
