4. They shall spring forth amid grasslike poplars beside flowing waters.
5. One shall say, “I am the Lord’s,”another shall be named after Jacob,And this one shall write on his hand, “The Lord’s,”and receive the name Israel.
6. Thus says the Lord, Israel’s king,its redeemer, the Lord of hosts:I am the first, I am the last;there is no God but me.
7. Who is like me? Let him stand up and declare,make it evident, and confront me with it.Who of old announced future events?Let them foretell to us the things to come.
