Isaiah 44:5-7

Good News Translation

⁵ “One by one, people will say, ‘I am the Lord's.’
    They will come to join the people of Israel.
They each will mark the name of the Lord on their arms
    and call themselves one of God's people.”

^6 (A)The Lord, who rules and protects Israel,
    the Lord Almighty, has this to say:
“I am the first, the last, the only God;
    there is no other god but me.
⁷ Could anyone else have done what I did?
    Who could have predicted all that would happen
    from the very beginning to the end of time?^[a]
