The Lord, Not Idols

“This is what the Lord says—
    Israel’s King(A) and Redeemer,(B) the Lord Almighty:
I am the first and I am the last;(C)
    apart from me there is no God.(D)
Who then is like me?(E) Let him proclaim it.
    Let him declare and lay out before me
what has happened since I established my ancient people,
    and what is yet to come—
    yes, let them foretell(F) what will come.
Do not tremble, do not be afraid.
    Did I not proclaim(G) this and foretell it long ago?
You are my witnesses. Is there any God(H) besides me?
    No, there is no other Rock;(I) I know not one.”

21 “Remember(A) these things, Jacob,
    for you, Israel, are my servant.(B)
I have made you, you are my servant;(C)
    Israel, I will not forget you.(D)
22 I have swept away(E) your offenses like a cloud,
    your sins like the morning mist.
Return(F) to me,
    for I have redeemed(G) you.”

23 Sing for joy,(H) you heavens, for the Lord has done this;
    shout aloud, you earth(I) beneath.
Burst into song, you mountains,(J)
    you forests and all your trees,(K)
for the Lord has redeemed(L) Jacob,
    he displays his glory(M) in Israel.
