draw near, you survivors of the nations!
They have no knowledge—

and keep on praying to a god
that cannot save.(D)

take counsel together![a]
Who told this long ago?
Who declared it of old?
Was it not I, the Lord?
There is no other god besides me,
a righteous God and a Savior;
there is no one besides me.(E)
22 Turn to me and be saved,
all the ends of the earth!
For I am God, and there is no other.(F)
