Isaiah 44:1-8

“And now listen, Jacob my servant, Israel whom I have chosen.  This is the word of the  Lord your Maker, the one who formed you from the womb: He will help you. Do not fear, Jacob my servant, Jeshurun  whom I have chosen.  For I will pour water on the thirsty land and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit  on your descendants and my blessing on your offspring. They will sprout among   the grass like poplars by flowing streams. This one will say, ‘I am the  Lord’s’; another will use the name of Jacob; still another will write on his hand, ‘The  Lord’s,’ and take on the name of Israel.” This is what the Lord, the King of Israel and its Redeemer,  the Lord of Armies, says: I am the first and I am the last.  There is no God but me.  Who, like me, can announce the future? Let him say so and make a case before me,  since I have established an ancient people. Let these gods declare  the coming things, and what will take place. Do not be startled or afraid. Have I not told you and declared it long ago? You are my witnesses!  Is there any God but me?  There is no other Rock;  I do not know any.
