¹² I gave the word, and made it clear, and there was no strange god among you: for this reason you are my witnesses, says the Lord.

¹² So the Lord only was his guide, no other god was with him.

¹⁰ You are my witnesses, says the Lord, and my servant whom I have taken for myself: so that you may see and have faith in me, and that it may be clear to you that I am he; before me there was no God formed, and there will not be after me.

⁸ Have no fear, be strong in heart; have I not made it clear to you in the past, and let you see it? and you are my witnesses. Is there any God but me, or a Rock of whom I have no knowledge?

⁹ There is to be no strange god among you; you are not to give worship to any other god.

⁹ Let the things which are past come to your memory: for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like me;

¹⁰ Making clear from the first what is to come, and from past times the things which have not so far come about; saying, My purpose is fixed, and I will do all my pleasure;

⁴ Because I saw that your heart was hard, and that your neck was an iron cord, and your brow brass;

⁵ For this reason I made it clear to you in the past, before it came I gave you word of it: for fear that you might say, My god did these things, and my pictured and metal images made them come about.

⁶ All this has come to your ears and you have seen it; will you not give witness to it? I am now making clear new things, even secret things, of which you had no knowledge.

⁷ They have only now been effected, and not in the past: and before this day they had not come to your ears; for fear that you might say, I had knowledge of them.
