3and I will give you the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that it is I, Yahweh, who call you by your name, even the God of Israel.
4For Jacob my servant`s sake, and Israel my chosen, I have called you by your name: I have surnamed you, though you have not known me.
5I am Yahweh, and there is none else; besides me there is no God. I will gird you, though you have not known me;
6that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none besides me: I am Yahweh, and there is no one else.
7I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil. I am Yahweh, who does all these things.
8Distil, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, that it may bring forth salvation, and let it cause righteousness to spring up together; I, Yahweh, have created it.
9Woe to him who strives with his Maker -- a potsherd among the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay ask him who fashions it, "What are you making?" or your work, "He has no hands?"
