Called for Israel’s sake

4For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel my chosen one, I called you by your name; I surnamed you, though you did not know me.

5I am Yahweh, and there is no other; besides me there is no God. I strengthen you, though you have not known me.

6so that they may know, from the rising of the sun and from its setting, that there is none besides me. I am Yahweh, and there is no other.

7forming light and creating darkness, making peace and creating calamity; I am Yahweh, who does all these things.
