Isaiah 45:14–25

¹⁴Thus says Yahweh,

“The fruit of the labor of ^aEgypt and the profit of ^1bEthiopia

And the Sabeans, men of stature,

Will ^ccome over to you and will be yours;

They will walk behind you; they will come over in ^dchains

And will ^ebow down to you;

They will make supplication to you:

‘²Surely, ^fGod is ³with you, and ^gthere is none else,

No other God.’”

¹⁵Truly, You are a God who ^ahides Himself,

O God of Israel, ^bSavior!

¹⁶They will be ^aput to shame and even dishonored, all of them;

The ^bcraftsmen of idols will go away together in dishonor.

¹⁷Israel has been saved by Yahweh

With an ^aeverlasting salvation;

You ^bwill not be put to shame or dishonored

To all eternity.

¹⁸For thus says Yahweh, who ^acreated the heavens (He is the God who ^bformed the earth and made it; He established it and did not create it ¹a ^cformless place, but formed it to be ^dinhabited),

“I am Yahweh, and ^ethere is none else.

¹⁹“^aI have not spoken in secret,

In ¹some dark land;

I did not say to the ^bseed of Jacob,

‘^cSeek Me in ²a formless place’;

I, Yahweh, ^dspeak righteousness,

^eDeclaring things that are upright.

²⁰“^aGather yourselves and come;

Draw near together, you who have escaped from the nations;

^bThey do not know,

Who ^ccarry about their graven image of wood

And ^dpray to a god who cannot save.

²¹“^aDeclare and draw near with your case;

Indeed, let them consult together.

^bWho has made this heard from of old?

Who has long since declared it?

Is it not I, Yahweh?

And there is ^cno other God besides Me,

A righteous God and a ^dSavior;

There is none except Me.

²²“^aTurn to Me and ^bbe saved, all the ends of the earth;

For I am God, and there is no other.

²³“^aI have sworn by Myself,

The ^bword has gone forth from My mouth in righteousness

And will not turn back,

That to Me ^cevery knee will bow, every tongue will ^dswear allegiance.

²⁴“They will say of Me, ‘Only ^ain Yahweh are righteousness and strength.’

Men will come to Him,

And ^ball who were angry at Him will be put to shame.

²⁵“In Yahweh all the seed of Israel

Will be ^ajustified and will ^bboast.”
