Thus says the Loan Who created the Suns,
The GOD Who formed EARTH, and provided its laws,
Formed it not for a waste, but for men to reside,-—
I am EvER·L1v1NG, and none but MYSELF.
I spoke not in secret, in dark spots of earth,
I told not ]acob’s race, That you seek Me in vain ;
I, the LORD, speak the truth, and instruct in the right.
You who know nothing, but bear wooden Idols about,
And pray to a god with no power to help!
Proelaim, meet together in council;
Who told this in advance? Who advised from of old?
Did not I, the LORD? and no other God?
The only true GOD, and except ME no other can save.
Tum to Meand be saved, all you boundaries of earth,
For I only am GOD.
I swear by Myself, andthe unchanging truth left My mouth.
To Me all knees shall bend, and all tongues shall confess,
To the LORD belongs Righteousness, Power and Honour,
Come on and bow down, all you haters of Hua,
In the LORD become righteous, and glory in Israel’s Race l ’
ODE 23.

Bel totters, Nebo stoops; they’re a torture to the beasts,
They crush the beasts who bear,-——who faint beneath the load!
They shake and crouch at once, and they cannot. bear the weight,
And their breath is drawn in gasps.
But hear Me, }acob’s House, and.Israel`s broken home,
Who bore you from the lap, and carried from the womb,
To old age I am there, and will help you in grey hairs;
I made you, and will help, will carry and set frcc.
