Isaiah 44:4-6

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴They shall spring up like a green tamarisk,
    like willows by flowing streams.
⁵This one will say, “I am the Lord’s,”
    another will be called by the name of Jacob,
yet another will write on the hand, “The Lord’s,”
    and adopt the name of Israel.

⁶Thus 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.
