New King James Version

Isaiah 44:1-8 New King James Version (NKJV)

1. “Yet hear now, O Jacob My servant,And Israel whom I have chosen.

2. Thus says the Lord who made youAnd formed you from the womb, who will help you:‘Fear not, O Jacob My servant;And you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.

3. For I will pour water on him who is thirsty,And floods on the dry ground;I will pour My Spirit on your descendants,And My blessing on your offspring;

4. They will spring up among the grassLike willows by the watercourses.’

5. One will say, ‘I am the Lord’s’;Another will call himself by the name of Jacob;Another will write with his hand, ‘The Lord’s,’And name himself by the name of Israel.

6. “Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel,And his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts:‘I am the First and I am the Last;Besides Me there is no God.

7. And who can proclaim as I do?Then let him declare it and set it in order for Me,Since I appointed the ancient people.And the things that are coming and shall come,Let them show these to them.

8. Do not fear, nor be afraid;Have I not told you from that time, and declared it?You are My witnesses.Is there a God besides Me?Indeed there is no other Rock;I know not one.’ ”
