Isaiah 44:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵They will worship me
and become my people.
They will write my name
on the back of their hands.^[a]

⁶^(A) I am the Lord All-Powerful,
the first and the last,
    the one and only God.
Israel, I have rescued you!
    I am your King.
⁷Can anyone compare with me?
If so, let them speak up
    and tell me now.
Let them say what has happened
since I made my nation
    long ago,
and let them tell
    what is going to happen.^[b]
