Isaiah 45:14–25

God Alone is the Savior

¹⁴This is what the Lord says:

The products of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush

and the Sabeans, men of stature, ^l

will come over to you ^m

and will be yours;

they will follow you,

they will come over in chains

and bow down to you.

They will confess ⁿto you:

God is indeed with you, ^oand there is no other;

there is no other God.

¹⁵Yes, You are a God who hides Himself, ^p

God of Israel, Savior. ^q

¹⁶All of them are put to shame, even humiliated; ^r

the makers of idols go in humiliation together.

¹⁷Israel will be saved by the Lord

with an everlasting salvation;

you will not be put to shame or humiliated

for all eternity. ^s

¹⁸For this is what the Lord says—

God is the Creator of the heavens.

He formed the earth and made it.

He established it;

He did not create it to be empty,

but formed it to be inhabited ^t—

“I am Yahweh,

and there is no other.

¹⁹I have not spoken in secret, ^u

somewhere in a land of darkness.

I did not say to the descendants of Jacob:

Seek Me in a wasteland. ^v

I, Yahweh, speak truthfully; ^w

I say what is right.

²⁰“Come, gather together,

and draw near, you fugitives of the nations.

Those who carry their wooden idols,

and pray to a god who cannot save, ^x

have no knowledge. ^y

²¹Speak up and present your case ^za—

yes, let them take counsel together.

Who predicted this long ago?

Who announced it from ancient times?

Was it not I, Yahweh?

There is no other God but Me,

a righteous God and Savior; ^b

there is no one except Me. ^c

²²Turn to Me and be saved,

all the ends of the earth.

For I am God,

and there is no other.

²³By Myself I have sworn; ^d

Truth has gone from My mouth, ^e

a word that will not be revoked:

Every knee will bow ^fto Me,

every tongue will swear allegiance.

²⁴It will be said to Me: Righteousness and strength

is only in the Lord.”

All who are enraged against Him

will come to Him and be put to shame. ^g

²⁵All the descendants of Israel

will be justified and find glory through the Lord.
