Isaiah 45:20–24

20 “Come, gather together,

and approach, you fugitives of the nations.

Those who carry their wooden idols

and pray to a god who cannot saved

have no knowledge.e

21 Speak up and present your caseA,f—

yes, let them consult each other.

Who predicted this long ago?

Who announced it from ancient times?

Was it not I, the Lord?

There is no other God but me,

a righteous God and Savior;g

there is no one except me.h

22 Turn to me and be saved,

all the ends of the earth.

For I am God,

and there is no other.

23 By myself I have sworn;i

truth has gone from my mouth,j

a word that will not be revoked:

Every knee will bowk to me,

every tongue will swear allegiance.

24 It will be said about me, ‘Righteousness and strength

are found only in the Lord.’ ”

All who are enraged against him

will come to him and be put to shame.l
