³⁹ See ye, now, that I -- I `am' He, And there is no god with Me: I put to death, and I keep alive; I have smitten, and I heal; And there is not from My hand a deliverer,

¹ `Come, and we turn back unto Jehovah, For He hath torn, and He doth heal us, He doth smite, and He bindeth us up.

⁶ Jehovah putteth to death, and keepeth alive, He bringeth down to Sheol, and bringeth up.

²² Turn to Me, and be saved, all ends of the earth, For I `am' God, and there is none else.

⁵ I `am' Jehovah, and there is none else, Except Me there is no God, I gird thee, and thou hast not known Me.

¹⁸ For He doth pain, and He bindeth up, He smiteth, and His hands heal.

¹³ Even from the day I `am' He, And there is no deliverer from My hand, I work, and who doth turn it back?

⁴ Even to old age I `am' He, and to grey hairs I carry, I made, and I bear, yea, I carry and deliver.

⁷ And it cometh to pass, at the king of Israel's reading the letter, that he rendeth his garments, and saith, `Am I God, to put to death and to keep alive, that this `one' is sending unto me to recover a man from his leprosy? for surely know, I pray you, and see, for he is presenting himself to me.'

⁴ Who hath wrought and done, Calling the generations from the first? I, Jehovah, the first, and with the last I `am' He.

²⁰ God Himself `is' to us a God for deliverances, And Jehovah Lord hath the outgoings of death.

²² Understand this, I pray you, Ye who are forgetting God, Lest I tear, and there is no deliverer.

¹⁸ For thus said Jehovah, Creator of heaven, He is God, Former of earth, and its Maker, He established it -- not empty He prepared it, For inhabiting He formed it: `I `am' Jehovah, and there is none else.

¹⁷ And when I saw him, I did fall at his feet as dead, and he placed his right hand upon me, saying to me, `Be not afraid; I am the First and the Last,

¹⁸ and he who is living, and I did become dead, and, lo, I am living to the ages of the ages. Amen! and I have the keys of the hades and of the death.

¹² Hearken to me, O Jacob, and Israel, My called one, I `am' He, I `am' first, and I `am' last;

³⁵ Thou, thou hast been shewn `it', to know that Jehovah He `is' God; there is none else besides Him.

²⁷ And Thou `art' the same, and Thine years are not finished.

⁸ Yea, the remnant of Jacob hath been among nations, In the midst of many peoples, As a lion among beasts of a forest, As a young lion among ranks of a flock, Which if it hath passed through, Hath both trodden down and hath torn, And there is no deliverer.

²⁴ I said, therefore, to you, that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye may not believe that I am `he', ye shall die in your sins.'

¹² and as a mantle Thou shall roll them together, and they shall be changed, and Thou art the same, and Thy years shall not fail.'

¹¹ `I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last;' and, `What thou dost see, write in a scroll, and send to the seven assemblies that `are' in Asia; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.'

⁸ `And to the messenger of the assembly of the Smyrneans write: These things saith the First and the Last, who did become dead and did live;

⁷ For Thou knowest that I am not wicked, And there is no deliverer from Thy hand.
