> Yes, Doug (Farris or Wilson), the Qur'an is very similar to the

> "Blessed be the LORD my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my
> fingers for battle" (Psalm 144:1).
>
> "Thus says the LORD: I am coming against you, and will draw my sword
> out of its sheath, and will cut off from you both righteous and
> wicked" (Ezekiel 21:3b).
>
> "And the LORD changed his mind about the disaster that he planned to
> bring on his people" (Exodus 32:14).
>
> "I, I am the LORD, and besides me there is no savior" (Isaiah 43:11).

> And so on...
