'First' in the Bible

Let me restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you'll be called "The Righteous City' and "The Faithful City of Zion'.

Who has performed and carried this out, calling the generations from the beginning? I, the LORD the first and will be with the last I am the One!"

First, to Zion: "There is slumber." And to Jerusalem: "I'll send a messenger with good news."

Your first ancestor sinned, and your mediators rebelled against me.

This is what the LORD says, the King of Israel and its Redeemer the LORD of the Heavenly Armies is his name "I am the first and I am the last, and apart from me there is no God.

I defer my anger for my name's sake, and as my first act I'm restraining it for you, so as not to cut you off.

"Listen to these things, Jacob, and Israel, whom I have called. I am the One: I am the first, I am even the last.
