I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me. That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. Those who believe in idols think that there may be lords many and gods many, but he who is a true...

That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. I form the light, and create darkness, I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. There are not two distinct principles that are omnipotent; and though God is not the Author of moral evil, yet whatever there is of evil, which causes us pain and loss, is under his control. There are not two gods, but only one living and true God.

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil. I the LORD do all these things. Cyrus was a believer in two gods, — one the god of light, and the other the god of darkness.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Let them strive with their equals, but who is he that shall come into conflict with the eternal God?
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Shall the clay say to him that fashioned it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands? Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth? Quarreling with God is waste of time, is audacity and presumption. It must end in disaster to us, for the Lord is Lord of all.

Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save. Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: What wooden god has ever foretold the future? What idol of brass or stone had a word to say...
