quotes


Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel
and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts:
“I am the first and I am the last;
and there is no god besides Me."
Isaiah 44:6

I am He. Before Me no god was formed,
nor shall there be any after Me.
I, I am the LORD,
and besides Me there is no savior.
I declared and saved and proclaimed,
when there was no strange god among you;
and you are My witnesses,” declares the LORD,
“and I am God.
Even from eternity I am He;
there is none who can deliver from My hand;
I work, and who can turn it back?”
Isaiah 43:10-13

I am the LORD, and there is no other,
besides Me there is no God;
I equip you, though you do not know Me,
that people may know, from the rising of the sun
and from the west, that there is none besides Me;
I am the LORD, and there is no other.
I form light and create darkness,
I make well-being and create calamity,
I am the LORD, who does all these things.
Isaiah 45:5-7

Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
His understanding is unsearchable.
Isaiah 40:28

Thus says the LORD:
“Heaven is My throne,
and the earth is My footstool;
what is the house that you would build for Me,
and what is the place of My rest?
2 All these things My hand has made,
and so all these things came to be,
declares the LORD.
But this is the one to whom I will look:
he who is humble and contrite in spirit
and trembles at My word.
Isaiah 66:1-2

In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the LORD sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of His robe filled the temple. Above Him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called to another and said:

“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts;
the whole earth is full of His glory!”

And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!”
Isaiah 6:1-5

I like Isaiah a lot. The previous verses are some of my favorites, but the best I'll post tomorrow. I need to sleep. Good night!
