Isaiah 43:13
11 I, yes I, am the LORD, and there is no Savior but Me.
12 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.
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.
15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, and your King.”
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
