Isaiah 44:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 One shall say, I am the Lord’s: another [a]shall be called by the name of Jacob: and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the Lord, and name himself by the name of Israel.
6 Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel and his redeemer, the Lord of hosts, [b]I am the first, and I am the last, and without me is there no God.
7 And who is like me, that shall [c]call and shall declare it, and set [d]it in order before me, since I appointed the [e]ancient people? and what is at hand, and what things are to come? let [f]them show unto them.
