Who has shown this from long ago? Who announced it? Was it not I, Yahweh?

Yahweh uses questions to emphasize that he was the one who told them these things would happen. Alternate translation: "I will tell you who has shown this from long ago. I will tell you who announced it. It was I, Yahweh." (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion)

There is no God except me ... there is no one besides me

These double negatives emphasize that the speaker is the only God. Alternate translation: "I am the only God ... I am the only one" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-doublenegatives)
