Yesaya 47:15

47:15 They will disappoint you, ¹ 

those you have so faithfully dealt with since your youth. ² 

Each strays off in his own direction, ³ 

leaving no one to rescue you.”

Yesaya 5:29

5:29 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.

Yesaya 43:13

43:13 From this day forward I am he;

no one can deliver from my power; ⁴ 

I will act, and who can prevent it?”
