11 I did this because of who I am.
I refuse to be dishonored[a]
    or share my praise
    with any other god.

12 (A) Israel, my chosen people,
    listen to me.
I alone am the Lord,
    the first and the last.
13 With my own hand
I created the earth
    and stretched out the sky.
They obey my every command.
