Context — The LORD Has Chosen Israel
6Thus says the LORD, the King and Redeemer of Israel, the LORD of Hosts: “I am the first and I am the last, and there is no God but Me.
7Who then is like Me? Let him say so! Let him declare his case before Me, since I established an ancient people. Let him foretell the things to come, and what is to take place.
8Do not tremble or fear. Have I not told you and declared it long ago? You are My witnesses! Is there any God but Me? There is no other Rock; I know not one.”
9All makers of idols are nothing, and the things they treasure are worthless. Their witnesses fail to see or comprehend, so they are put to shame. 10Who fashions a god or casts an idol which profits him nothing?Cross References

Isaiah 44:8 Summary
[Isaiah 44:8 is a reminder that God is the only true God, and there is no other Rock like Him, which means we can trust Him completely, just like it says in Psalm 18:2, that God is our Rock, and we can find refuge in Him. This verse tells us not to be afraid because God has already told us what is going to happen, and we can trust in His plan. We are also called to be witnesses for God, which means we tell others about His love and truth, as seen in Matthew 28:19-20, where Jesus commands us to go and make disciples of all nations.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to be a witness for God?
According to Isaiah 44:8, being a witness for God means that we have been told and declared the truth about Him long ago, and we are to testify to this truth, just as it is written in Acts 1:8, we are to be His witnesses to the ends of the earth.
Why does God tell us not to tremble or fear in this verse?
God tells us not to tremble or fear because He is the only true God, and there is no other Rock like Him, as stated in Isaiah 44:8, and this truth gives us confidence and peace, as seen in Psalm 23:4, where it says that even in the darkest valley, we fear no evil because God is with us.
What is the significance of God saying 'I know not one' other Rock?
When God says 'I know not one' other Rock, He is emphasizing His uniqueness and sovereignty, as also stated in Isaiah 46:9, where He says that He is God, and there is no other, and this truth should give us assurance and trust in Him alone.
How does this verse relate to idolatry?
This verse relates to idolatry because it contrasts the one true God with the false gods and idols that people worship, as seen in the surrounding verses, such as Isaiah 44:9-10, where it says that all makers of idols are nothing, and the things they treasure are worthless.
Reflection Questions
- What are some things that make you tremble or fear, and how can you apply the truth of Isaiah 44:8 to those situations?
- In what ways can you be a witness for God in your daily life, and what does that look like for you?
- What are some 'idols' in your life that you may be putting your trust in, and how can you turn your attention back to the one true Rock, Jesus Christ?
- How does the truth of God's sovereignty and uniqueness affect your worship and praise of Him?
Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 44:8

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 44:8
Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 44:8
Have not I told thee? thee, O Israel, whom he bids not to fear. The sense is, I call you Israelites to bear me witness, whether I have not, from time to time, acquainted you with things to come, such as your sojourning in a strange land for four hundred years, and your deliverance and happiness after that time, ,14, and many things of the like nature? From that time; from the time when I appointed the ancient people, as I now said, . These were pregnant instances of God’ s prediction of things to come, not only from the beginning of the Jewish commonwealth, but even from the first ages of the world, as unto Enoch, Jude 14, and unto Noah, Genesis 6 13, to say nothing of what other authors relate concerning Adam and Seth. Have declared it; have published it to the world in my sacred records. My witnesses, both of my predictions, and of the exact agreeableness of events to them. Is there a God besides me? judge by this character whether I be not the only true God. Yea, there is no God; I know not any; if any of you be wiser than I am, I am willing to be informed. It is a sarcastical speech. But this clause may be, and is by others, taken interrogatively, do not I know it?
Is it not a certain and undeniable truth, that there is no other God?
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 44:8
Isaiah 44:8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared [it]? ye [are] even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, [there is] no God; I know not [any].Ver. 8. Have I not told thee from that time?] Ever since I made thee mine ancient people, well affected to old truths, and distasting novel opinions. Is there a God besides me?] Vehementi spiritu hoc quaerit, et gravitate magna respondet, There is no God, no other God: I know not any. This was spoken by the prophet, say some, in the days of Ahaz, that notorious idolater.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 44:8
(8) Yea, there is no God . . .—Literally, no Rock. That word, as expressing eternal strength, being used, as in Deuteronomy 32:4; 2 Samuel 22:3; 2 Samuel 23:3, as a Divine name.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Isaiah 44:8
Verse 8. Fear ye not] תרהו tirehu never occurs. Perhaps it should be תיראו tireu, fear ye. Two MSS. read תהרו tirehu, and one of mine taharu.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 44:8
8. Fear ye not] in the coming convulsions; the ground of confidence is that Jehovah has proved His control over these events by foretelling them. The verb for be afraid does not occur elsewhere. from that time] Rather beforehand, or, from of old; as ch.

Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 44:8
Fear ye not, neither be afraid - (see the notes at Isaiah 41:10). The word rendered here ‘be afraid,’ occurs nowhere else in the Bible. There can be no doubt, however, in regard to its meaning.
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 44:8
