King James Version

“Mine heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest; it crieth out against me: therefore have I hated it.”

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.
