I am Jehovah, that is my name, and my glory will I not give to another” (Isaiah xlii. 1, 6—8). “Who hath believed our report, and to whom is the arm of Jehovah revealed?” “He hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him there is no beauty—.” “He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows” (Isaiah liii. 1, 2, 4). “Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah—travelling in the greatness of his strength?
