Psalm 85:8-13
Common English Bible
8 Let me hear what the Lord God says,
because he speaks peace to his people and to his faithful ones.
Don’t let them return to foolish ways.
9 God’s salvation is very close to those who honor him
so that his glory can live in our land.
10 Faithful love and truth have met;
righteousness and peace have kissed.
11 Truth springs up from the ground;
righteousness gazes down from heaven.
12 Yes, the Lord gives what is good,
and our land yields its produce.
13 Righteousness walks before God,
making a road for his steps.

5 I am the Lord, and there is no other;
besides me there is no God.
I strengthen you—
though you don’t know me—
6 so all will know, from the rising of the sun to its setting,
that there is nothing apart from me.
I am the Lord; there’s no other.
7 I form light and create darkness,
make prosperity and create doom;
I am the Lord, who does all these things.
8 Pour down, you heavens above,
and let the clouds flow with righteousness.
Let the earth open for salvation to bear fruit;
let righteousness sprout as well.
I, the Lord, have created these things.

Isaiah 45:18-25
Common English Bible
18 For this is what the Lord said, who created the heavens,
who is God,
who formed the earth and made it,
who established it,
who didn’t create it a wasteland but formed it as a habitation:
I, the Lord, and none other!
19 I didn’t speak in secret
or in some land of darkness;
I didn’t say to the offspring of Jacob,
“Seek me in chaos.”
I am the Lord, the one who speaks truth,
who announces what is correct.
20 Gather and come,
draw near together,
fugitives of the nations!
Those who carry their wooden idols don’t know;
those who pray to a god who won’t save.
21 Announce! Approach! Confer together!
Who proclaimed this from the beginning, announced it from long ago?
Wasn’t it I, the Lord?
There’s no other God except me,
a righteous God and a savior;
there’s none besides me!
22 Turn to me and be saved,
all you ends of the earth,
for I am God, and there’s no other.
23 I have sworn a solemn pledge;
a word has left my mouth;
it is reliable and won’t fail.
Surely every knee will bow
and every tongue will confess;
24 they will say, “Righteousness and strength come only from the Lord.
All who are angry with him will come to shame.
25 All the Israelites
will be victorious and rejoice.”
Isaiah 45:18-25
New International Version
Isaiah 45:18-25
New International Version
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 inhabited(C)—
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)
‘Seek(H) me in vain.’
I, the Lord, speak the truth;
I declare what is right.(I)
20 “Gather together(J) and come;
assemble, you fugitives from the nations.
Ignorant(K) are those who carry(L) 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 foretold(N) 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 God(Q) and a Savior;(R)
there is none but me.
22 “Turn(S) 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 integrity(X)
a word that will not be revoked:(Y)
Before me every knee will bow;(Z)
by me every tongue will swear.(AA)
24 They will say of me, ‘In the Lord alone
are deliverance(AB) and strength.(AC)’”
All who have raged against him
will come to him and be put to shame.(AD)
25 But all the descendants(AE) of Israel
will find deliverance(AF) in the Lord
and will make their boast in him.(AG)

Luke 7:19-23
Common English Bible
19 and sent them to the Lord. They were to ask him, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for someone else?”
20 When they reached Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to you. He asks, ‘Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for someone else?’”
21 Right then, Jesus healed many of their diseases, illnesses, and evil spirits, and he gave sight to a number of blind people. 22 Then he replied to John’s disciples, “Go, report to John what you have seen and heard. Those who were blind are able to see. Those who were crippled now walk. People with skin diseases are cleansed. Those who were deaf now hear. Those who were dead are raised up. And good news is preached to the poor.[a] 23 Happy is anyone who doesn’t stumble along the way because of me.”

19 he sent them to the Lord to ask, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?”
20 When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to you to ask, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?’”
21 At that very time Jesus cured many who had diseases, sicknesses(A) and evil spirits, and gave sight to many who were blind. 22 So he replied to the messengers, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy[a] are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor.(B) 23 Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.”
