See now Open your eyes and be convinced by your own sad experience what vain and impotent things idols are. I am he The only true, omnipotent, and irresistible God. There is no god with me As I have no superior, so neither have I any equal. I kill and I make alive I am the arbiter of life and death, the dispenser of prosperity and adversity, and the author of national changes and revolutions, whether in the way of mercy or judgment. We may observe that it is usual, in Scripture language, to represent extreme calamities under the notion of death, and to express happiness and prosperity by the word life.
