Isaiah 43:12

Salvation God's faithfulness

¹⁰ “You are My witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and My servant whom I have chosen, so that you may consider and believe Me and understand that I am He. Before Me no god was formed, and after Me none will come.

¹¹ I, yes I, am the LORD, and there is no Savior but Me.

I alone decreed and saved and proclaimed— I, and not some foreign god among you. So you are My witnesses,” declares the LORD, “that I am God.

¹³ Even from eternity I am He, and none can deliver out of My hand. When I act, who can reverse it?”

¹⁴ Thus says the LORD your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “For your sake, I will send to Babylon and bring them all as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships in which they rejoice.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
