I will place the key to the house of David on his shoulder. When he opens the door, no one can close it; when he closes the door, no one can open it.

I look, but there is no one, among them there is no one who serves as an adviser, that I might ask questions and receive answers.

I looked, but there was no one to help; I was shocked because there was no one offering support. So my right arm accomplished deliverance; my raging anger drove me on.

I, I am the Lord, and there is no deliverer besides me.

Their land is full of gold and silver; there is no end to their wealth. Their land is full of horses; there is no end to their chariots.

But these people are looted and plundered; all of them are trapped in pits and held captive in prisons. They were carried away as loot with no one to rescue them; they were carried away as plunder, and no one says, “Bring that back!”

The cities of Aroer are abandoned. They will be used for herds, which will lie down there in peace.

The powerful will be like a thread of yarn, their deeds like a spark; both will burn together, and no one will put out the fire.

Their roar is like a lion’s; they roar like young lions. They growl and seize their prey; they drag it away and no one can come to the rescue.

Her nobles will have nothing left to call a kingdom and all her officials will disappear.

From this day forward I am he; no one can deliver from my power; I will act, and who can prevent it?”

I am the Lord, I have no peer, there is no God but me. I arm you for battle, even though you do not recognize me.

I do this so people will recognize from east to west that there is no God but me; I am the Lord, I have no peer.

Turn to me so you can be delivered, all you who live in the earth’s remote regions! For I am God, and I have no peer.

Remember what I accomplished in antiquity! Truly I am God, I have no peer; I am God, and there is none like me,

There was no one to lead her among all the children she bore; there was no one to take her by the hand among all the children she raised.

We all growl like bears, we coo mournfully like doves; we wait for deliverance, but there is none, for salvation, but it is far from us.

You were once abandoned and despised, with no one passing through, but I will make you a permanent source of pride and joy to coming generations.

Why does no one challenge me when I come? Why does no one respond when I call? Is my hand too weak to deliver you? Do I lack the power to rescue you? Look, with a mere shout I can dry up the sea; I can turn streams into a desert, so the fish rot away and die from lack of water.

At that time the brother will shout, ‘I am no doctor, I have no food or coat in my house; don’t make me a leader of the people!’”
