10. You are my witnesses, says the Lord, and you are my servant, whom I have chosen, so that you may know, and may believe in me, and so that you may understand that I am the same. Before me, there was no god formed, and after me there will be none.
11. I am. I am the Lord. And there is no savior apart from me.
12. I have announced, and I have saved. I have caused it to be heard. And there was no stranger among you. You are my witnesses, says the Lord, and I am God.
13. And from the beginning, I am the same. And there is no one who can rescue from my hand. I act, and who can turn it aside?
14. Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake, I sent to Babylon, and tore down all their bars, with the Chaldeans who glory in their ships.
15. I am the Lord, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.
16. Thus says the Lord, who gave you a way through the sea and a path through the torrent of waters,
17. who led out the chariot and the horse, the column of robust troops. They went to sleep together, and they will not arise. They have been crushed like flax, and they have been extinguished.
18. You need not call to mind the past, nor consider the things of antiquity.
