The Lord, the Only Savior

14 Thus says the Lord:
(A)“The wealth of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush,
    and the Sabeans, men of stature,
shall come over to you (B)and be yours;
    they shall follow you;
    they shall come over in chains and bow down to you.
They will plead with you, saying:
    ‘Surely God is in you, and there is no other,
    no god besides him.’”

15 (C)Truly, you are a God who hides himself,
    O God of Israel, the Savior.
16 (D)All of them are put to shame and confounded;
    the makers of idols go in confusion together.
17 But Israel is saved by the Lord
    with everlasting salvation;
(E)you shall not be put to shame or confounded
    to all eternity.

18 (F)For thus says the Lord,
who created the heavens
    (he is God!),
who formed the earth and made it
    (he established it;
he (G)did not create it empty,
    (H)he formed it to be inhabited!):
“I am the Lord, and there is no other.
19 (I)I did not speak in secret,
    in a land of darkness;
I did not say to the offspring of Jacob,
    (J)‘Seek me in vain.’[a]
I the Lord speak (K)the truth;
    I declare what is right.
