~ I Am the Lord ~

For this is what the Lord says --
He who created the heavens,
He is God;
He who fashioned and made the earth,
He founded it;
He did not create it to be empty,
but formed it to be inhabited --
He says:
"I am the Lord, and there is no other.
I have not spoken in secret,
from somewhere in a land of darkness;
I have not said to Jacob's descendants,
'Seek Me in vain.'
I, the Lord speak the truth;
I declare what is right.

(Isaiah 45:18-19)
