Isaiah 1:21
King James Version
8 Jun 2026
“How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.”
הָיָה
I AM. Hayah. The self-existent one. When Moses asked God His name God said I AM THAT I AM. Not I was or I will be but I AM. Always present always existing always enough. Jesus used the same words: before Abraham was I AM.
