“ Listen to me, Jacob, Israel, whom I have called: I am he; I am the first and I am the last.

“ Family of Jacob, listen to me. People of Israel, pay attention. I have chosen you. I am the first and the last. I am the Lord.

“ Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel, whom I called! I am he; I am the first, and I am the last.

“ Listen to me, Jacob, and Israel, the one called by me: I am he; I am the first, I am also the last.

“ Listen to Me, Jacob, Israel whom I called; I am He, I am the first, I am also the last.

“ Listen to Me, O Jacob, And Israel, My called: I am He, I am the First, I am also the Last.

Hearken unto me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.

“ Listen to Me, Jacob, and Israel, the one called by Me: I am He; I am the first, I am also the last.

Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I[ am] he; I[ am] the first, I also[ am] the last.

Listen to me, O Jacob, Israel, whom I summoned! I am the one; I am present at the very beginning and at the very end.

“ Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he. I am the first. I am also the last.

Who has done such mighty deeds, summoning each new generation from the beginning of time? It is I, the Lord, the First and the Last. I alone am he.”

“ Come to me with your ears wide open. Listen, and you will find life. I will make an everlasting covenant with you. I will give you all the unfailing love I promised to David.

This is what the Lord says— Israel’s King and Redeemer, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies:“ I am the First and the Last; there is no other God.

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”

“ I am the Alpha and the Omega— the beginning and the end,” says the Lord God.“ I am the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come— the Almighty One.”

Listen to me, all you in distant lands! Pay attention, you who are far away! The Lord called me before my birth; from within the womb he called me by name.

“ Listen to me, descendants of Jacob, all you who remain in Israel. I have cared for you since you were born. Yes, I carried you before you were born.

I, yes I, am the Lord, and there is no other Savior.

It said,“ Write in a book everything you see, and send it to the seven churches in the cities of Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”

But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.

Come here and listen, O nations of the earth. Let the world and everything in it hear my words.

“ So those who are last now will be first then, and those who are first will be last.”

“ Listen to me, all who hope for deliverance— all who seek the Lord! Consider the rock from which you were cut, the quarry from which you were mined.

“ Listen to me, you who know right from wrong, you who cherish my law in your hearts. Do not be afraid of people’s scorn, nor fear their insults.

So listen to me, my sons, and pay attention to my words.

And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

And you are included among those Gentiles who have been called to belong to Jesus Christ.

“ And so, my children, listen to me, for all who follow my ways are joyful.

Look now; I myself am he! There is no other god but me! I am the one who kills and gives life; I am the one who wounds and heals; no one can be rescued from my powerful hand!

Together they will go to war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will defeat them because he is Lord of all lords and King of all kings. And his called and chosen and faithful ones will be with him.”

“ Listen to me, my people. Hear me, Israel, for my law will be proclaimed, and my justice will become a light to the nations.

“ Write this letter to the angel of the church in Smyrna. This is the message from the one who is the First and the Last, who was dead but is now alive:

But to those called by God to salvation, both Jews and Gentiles, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

When I saw him, I fell at his feet as if I were dead. But he laid his right hand on me and said,“ Don’t be afraid! I am the First and the Last.I am the living one. I died, but look— I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and the grave.
