⁷ וְעָמַד מִנֵּצֶר שָׁרָשֶׁיהָ כַּנֹּו וְיָבֹא אֶל־הַחַיִל וְיָבֹא בְּמָעֹוז מֶלֶךְ הַצָּפֹון וְעָשָׂה בָהֶם וְהֶחֱזִיק׃

¹⁸ For thus says Yahweh who created the heavens, the God who formed the earth and made it, who established it and didn't create it a waste, who formed it to be inhabited: "I am Yahweh; and there is no other.

¹⁹ I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness. I didn't say to the seed of Jacob, 'Seek me in vain.' I, Yahweh, speak righteousness. I declare things that are right.
