“I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.”
The assertion 'I am Yahweh; that is my name; my glory I will not give to another'—reestablishes God's unique identity and refusal to share divine honor. This verse appears as a counter-assertion after the servant's exaltation, clarifying that servant's work serves God's glory, not the servant's magnification. The double affirmation of divine name and refusal of compromise suggests that covenant identity remains essential: worship and ultimate loyalty belong to God alone. This verse prevents the servant theology from devolving into another form of idolatry.
