⁴ Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the Lord, the first, and with the last; I am he.

¹⁰ Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

⁷ And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them.

⁴ And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.

¹² Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
