Lexicon :: Strong's H410 - 'ēl

But the LORD of Armies is exalted by his justice,

and the holy God demonstrates his holiness through his righteousness.

Devise a plan; it will fail.

Make a prediction; it will not happen.

For God is with us.[fn]

For a child will be born for us,

a son will be given to us,

and the government will be on his shoulders.

He will be named

Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.

The remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob,

to the Mighty God.

“Indeed, God is my salvation;

I will trust him and not be afraid,

for the LORD, the LORD himself,

is my strength and my song.

He has become my salvation.”

You said to yourself,

“I will ascend to the heavens;

I will set up my throne

above the stars of God.

I will sit on the mount of the gods’ assembly,

in the remotest parts of the North.[fn]

Egyptians are men, not God;

their horses are flesh, not spirit.

When the LORD raises his hand to strike,

the helper will stumble

and the one who is helped will fall;

both will perish together.

With whom will you compare God?

What likeness will you set up for comparison with him?

This is what God, the LORD, says —

who created the heavens and stretched them out,

who spread out the earth and what comes from it,

who gives breath to the people on it

and spirit to those who walk on it —

“You are my witnesses” —

this is the LORD’s declaration —

“and my servant whom I have chosen,

so that you may know and believe me

and understand that I am he.

No god was formed before me,

and there will be none after me.

“I alone declared, saved, and proclaimed —

and not some foreign god[fn] among you.

So you are my witnesses” —

this is the LORD’s declaration —

“and[fn] I am God.

Who makes a god or casts a metal image

that benefits no one?

A person can use it for fuel.

He takes some of it and warms himself;

also he kindles a fire and bakes bread;

he even makes it into a god and worships it;

he makes an idol from it and bows down to it.

He makes a god or his idol with the rest of it.

He bows down to it and worships;

he prays to it, “Save me, for you are my god.”

This is what the LORD says:

“The products of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush

and the Sabeans, men of stature,

will come over to you

and will be yours;

they will follow you,

they will come over in chains

and bow down to you.

They will confess[fn] to you,

‘God is indeed with you, and there is no other;

there is no other God.’ ”

“Come, gather together,

and approach, you fugitives of the nations.

Those who carry their wooden idols

and pray to a god who cannot save

have no knowledge.

“Those who pour out their bags of gold

and weigh out silver on scales —

they hire a goldsmith and he makes it into a god.

Then they kneel and bow down to it.

“Remember what happened long ago,

for I am God, and there is no other;

I am God, and no one is like me.

who burn with lust among the oaks,

under every green tree,

who slaughter children in the wadis

below the clefts of the rocks?
