Isaiah 45:16–23

16 They shall be gashamed

And also disgraced, all of them;

They shall go in confusion together,

Who are makers of idols.

17 hBut Israel shall be saved by the Lord

With an ieverlasting salvation;

You shall not be ashamed or jdisgraced

Forever and ever.

18 For thus says the Lord,

kWho created the heavens,

Who is God,

Who formed the earth and made it,

Who has established it,

Who did not create it 5in vain,

Who formed it to be linhabited:

m“I am the Lord, and there is no other.

19 I have not spoken in nsecret,

In a dark place of the earth;

I did not say to the seed of Jacob,

‘Seek Me 6in vain’;

oI, the Lord, speak righteousness,

I declare things that are right.

20 “Assemble yourselves and come;

Draw near together,

You who have escaped from the nations.

pThey have no knowledge,

Who carry the wood of their carved image,

And pray to a god that cannot save.

21 Tell and bring forth your case;

Yes, let them take counsel together.

qWho has declared this from ancient time?

Who has told it from that time?

Have not I, the Lord?

rAnd there is no other God besides Me,

A just God and a Savior;

There is none besides Me.

22 “Look to Me, and be saved,

sAll you ends of the earth!

For I am God, and there is no other.

23 tI have sworn by Myself;

The word has gone out of My mouth in righteousness,

And shall not return,

That to Me every uknee shall bow,

vEvery tongue shall take an oath.
