19 (A)I did not speak in secret,
    in a land of darkness;
I did not say to the offspring of Jacob,
    (B)‘Seek me in vain.’[a]
I the Lord speak (C)the truth;
    I declare what is right.

20 (D)“Assemble yourselves and come;
    draw near together,
    you survivors of the nations!
(E)They have no knowledge
    who (F)carry about their wooden idols,
(G)and keep on praying to a god
    that cannot save.
21 (H)Declare and present your case;
    let them take counsel together!
Who told this long ago?
    Who declared it of old?
Was it not I, the Lord?
    And there is no other god besides me,
a righteous God (I)and a Savior;
    there is none besides me.
