And there is no other God besides Me,
A [consistently and uncompromisingly] just and righteous God and a Savior;
There is none except Me.

Now I declare new things;
Before they spring forth I proclaim them to you.”

Or let them hear and say [in acknowledgement], “It is the truth.”

And the events that are going to take place.
