³⁹ See now that I, even I, am he, There is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal; There is none who can deliver out of my hand.

¹ "Come, and let us return to Yahweh; For he has torn us to pieces, And he will heal us; He has injured us, And he will bind up our wounds.

⁶ Yahweh kills, and makes alive: He brings down to Sheol, and brings up.

²² Look to me, and be you saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is none else.

⁵ I am Yahweh, and there is none else; besides me there is no God. I will gird you, though you have not known me;

¹⁸ For he wounds, and binds up; He injures, and his hands make whole.

¹³ Yes, since the day was I am he; and there is none who can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who can hinder it?

⁴ and even to old age I am he, and even to gray hairs will I carry you. I have made, and I will bear; yes, I will carry, and will deliver.

⁷ It happened, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he tore his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man does send to me to recover a man of his leprosy? but consider, I pray you, and see how he seeks a quarrel against me.

⁴ Who has worked and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I, Yahweh, the first, and with the last, I am he.

¹² Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
