14 This is what the Lord says:

“The productsm of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush,c

and those tall Sabeansn—

they will come over to youo

and will be yours;

they will trudge behind you,p

coming over to you in chains.q

They will bow down before you

and pleadr with you, saying,

‘Surely God is with you,s and there is no other;

there is no other god.t’ ”

15 Truly you are a God who has been hidingu himself,

the God and Saviorv of Israel.

16 All the makers of idols will be put to shame and disgraced;w

they will go off into disgrace together.

17 But Israel will be savedx by the Lord

with an everlasting salvation;y

you will never be put to shame or disgraced,z

to ages everlasting.

18 For this is what the Lord says—

he who created the heavens,

he is God;

he who fashioned and made the earth,a

he founded it;

he did not create it to be empty,b

but formed it to be inhabitedc—

he says:

“I am the Lord,

and there is no other.d

19 I have not spoken in secret,e

from somewhere in a land of darkness;f

I have not said to Jacob’s descendants,g

‘Seekh me in vain.’

I, the Lord, speak the truth;

I declare what is right.i

20 “Gather togetherj and come;

assemble, you fugitives from the nations.

Ignorantk are those who carryl about idols of wood,

who pray to gods that cannot save.m

21 Declare what is to be, present it—

let them take counsel together.

Who foretoldn this long ago,

who declared it from the distant past?o

Was it not I, the Lord?

And there is no God apart from me,p

a righteous Godq and a Savior;r

there is none but me.

22 “Turns to me and be saved,t

all you ends of the earth;u

for I am God, and there is no other.v

23 By myself I have sworn,w

my mouth has uttered in all integrityx

a word that will not be revoked:y

Before me every knee will bow;z

by me every tongue will swear.a

24 They will say of me, ‘In the Lord alone

are deliveranceb and strength.c’ ”

All who have raged against him

will come to him and be put to shame.d

25 But all the descendantse of Israel

will find deliverancef in the Lord

and will make their boast in him.g
