Isaiah 44:8

Fear ye not, neither be afraid; 1 have not I proclaimed to thee long ago, 1 and have made it known? 1 Ye are even My edim. 1 Is there Eloah apart from Me? 1 And there is no Tzur, I know of none.

Orthodox Jewish Bible

In The King James Version

Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.
