Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;
This is what the LORD says—your rescuer and the one who shaped you before you were born: I am the LORD who made everything; I stretched out the heavens all by myself; I spread out the earth on my own;
God is declaring that He alone is the Creator of everything—the heavens, the earth, and each person—and He is also the one who rescues His people.
