Isaiah 45:5-8 Because I am the Lord God and there is no God else besides me; I strengthened thee when thou didst not know me;

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ Because I am the Lord God and there is no God else besides me; I strengthened thee when thou didst not know me; ⁶ that they from the risings of the sun and they from its goings down may know, that there is no God besides me. I the Lord am God and there is none else. ⁷ It was I who provided light and made darkness; who make peace and create evils: I the Lord God am he who doth all these things. ⁸ [c] Let the heaven above be glad; and the clouds shower down righteousness. Let the earth spring and bloom with mercy and let it cause righteousness to spring up with it. [J] I the Lord am he who created thee.
