¹¹ I am, I am the Lord, and without me is no saviour. (I am, yea, I am the Lord, and there is no other saviour besides me.)

⁵ Be not afraid, for I am with thee, From the east I bring in thy seed, And from the west I gather thee.

⁶ I am saying to the north, 'Give up,' And to the south, 'Restrain not.' Bring in My sons from afar, And My daughters from the end of the earth.

⁷ Every one who is called by My name, Even for My honour I have created him, I have formed him, yea, I have made him.

⁸ He brought out a blind people who have eyes, And deaf ones who have ears.

⁹ All the nations have been gathered together, And the peoples are assembled, Who among them declareth this, And former things causeth us to hear? They give their witnesses, And they are declared righteous, And they hear and say, 'Truth.'

¹⁰ Ye are My witnesses, an affirmation of Jehovah, And My servant whom I have chosen, So that ye know and give credence to Me, And understand that I am He, Before Me there was no God formed, And after Me there is none.

¹¹ I — I am Jehovah, And besides Me there is no saviour.
