Thomas Aquinas, on Isa 44:8

“Fear ye not, neither be ye troubled, from that time I have made thee to hear, and have declared: you are my witnesses. Is there a God besides me, a maker, whom I have not known?”

“Second, he indicates the sign of his divinity confirmed by witnesses: fear not, as if to say: be not worried for me, as if I would fail in a test of my divinity, below: I have made you to hear new things (Isa 48:6). Third, he deduces the defect of the idols: is there a God besides me, and first, he sets out the question: is there a God besides me, see that I alone am, and there is no other God besides me (Deut 32:39).”
