“But I have been the LORD your God ever since you came out of Egypt. You shall acknowledge no God but me, no Savior except me.

“You are destroyed, Israel, because you are against me, against your helper.

But I am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt; you know no God but me, and besides me there is no savior.

He destroys you, O Israel, for you are against me, against your helper.

“I have been the LORD your God ever since I brought you out of Egypt. You must acknowledge no God but me, for there is no other savior.

“You are about to be destroyed, O Israel— yes, by me, your only helper.

I have been the LORD your God  ever since  the land of Egypt; you know no God but me,  and no Savior exists besides me.

I will destroy you, Israel; you have no help but me. 

Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me.

O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help.

“Yet I am the LORD your God Ever since the land of Egypt, And you shall know no God but Me; For there is no savior besides Me.

“O Israel, you are destroyed, But your help is from Me.

“I’m still your GOD, the God who saved you out of Egypt. I’m the only real God you’ve ever known. I’m the one and only God who delivers. I took care of you during the wilderness hard times, those years when you had nothing. I took care of you, took care of all your needs, gave you everything you needed. You were spoiled. You thought you didn’t need me. You forgot me.

“I’ll charge them like a lion, like a leopard stalking in the brush. I’ll jump them like a sow grizzly robbed of her cubs. I’ll rip out their guts. Coyotes will make a meal of them. Crows will clean their bones. I’m going to destroy you, Israel. Who is going to stop me? Where is your trusty king you thought would save you? Where are all the local leaders you wanted so badly? All these rulers you insisted on having, demanding, ‘Give me a king! Give me leaders!’? Well, long ago I gave you a king, but I wasn’t happy about it. Now, fed up, I’ve gotten rid of him. I have a detailed record of your infidelities— Ephraim’s sin documented and stored in a safe-deposit box.

¶Yet I have been the LORD your God Since the land of Egypt; And you were not to know any god except Me, For there is no savior besides Me.

¶It is to your own destruction, Israel, That you are against Me, against your help.

¶Yet I have been the LORD your God Since [the time you became a nation in] the land of Egypt; And you were not to know any god except Me, For there is no savior besides Me.

¶It is your destruction, O Israel, Because you are against Me, [and have rebelled] against your help.

But I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt. Therefore, you must not acknowledge any God but me; except me there is no Savior.

I will destroy you, O Israel! Who is there to help you?
