Because of you, I will send an army^[a] to Babylon
and bring all of them as fugitives,^[b]
even the Chaldeans^(C) in the ships in which they rejoice.^[c]

I am the first and I am the last.^(B)
There is no God but me.^(C)

I am the Lord, who made everything;
who stretched out the heavens by myself;^(C)
who alone spread out the earth;

⁴ The Holy One of Israel is our Redeemer;^(A)
The Lord of Armies is his name.

I am the Lord your God,
who teaches you for your benefit,
who leads you in the way you should go.

⁷ This is what the Lord,
the Redeemer^(A) of Israel, his Holy One, says
to one who is despised,
to one abhorred by people,^[a](B)
to a servant of rulers:
“Kings will see, princes will stand up,
and they^[b] will all bow down
because of the Lord, who is faithful,
the Holy One of Israel^(C)—and he has chosen you.”^(D)

²⁶ I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh,^(A)
and they will be drunk with their own blood
as with sweet wine.
Then all humanity will know
that I, the Lord, am your Savior,^(B)
and your Redeemer,^(C) the Mighty One of Jacob.”^(D)

⁵ Indeed, your husband is your Maker^(A)—
his name is the Lord of Armies—
and the Holy One of Israel^(B) is your Redeemer;^(C)
he is called the God of the whole earth.

⁸ In a surge of anger
I hid my face^(A) from you for a moment,
but I will have compassion on you
with everlasting love,”^(B)
says the Lord your Redeemer.
