Isaiah 48:11-13
New English Translation
11 For my sake alone[a] I will act,
for how can I allow my name to be defiled?[b]
I will not share my glory with anyone else![c]
12 Listen to me, O Jacob,
Israel, whom I summoned.
I am the one;
I am present at the very beginning
and at the very end.[d]
13 Yes, my hand founded the earth;
my right hand spread out the sky.
I summon them;
they stand together.
