Remember this, keep it in mind, take it to heart, you rebels. Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me.

It seems God is really trying to nail it in to their skulls that He's God. He says: 'Listen to me... Remember this... With whom will you compare me or count me equal? To whom will you liken me that we may be compared?' He's basically challenging them, trying to knock some sense into them. It's amazing that they're always going back to idols, no matter how many times God tells them. But if you think about it, we act no better.
