I am the Lord thy God,
the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour . . . .
Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord,
and my servant whom I have chosen:
that ye may know and believe me,
and understand that I am he:
before me there was no God formed,
neither shall there be after me.
I, even I, am the Lord;
and beside me there is no saviour.
I have declared, and have saved,
and I have shewed,
when there was no strange god among you:
therefore ye are my witnesses,
saith the Lord, that I am God.
Isaiah 43:3, 10-12
