(A)It shall come to pass in the latter days
    that (B)the mountain of the house of the Lord
shall be established as the highest of the mountains,
    and shall be lifted up above the hills;
and (C)all the nations shall flow to it,

20 (A)“Assemble yourselves and come;
    draw near together,
    you survivors of the nations!
(B)They have no knowledge
    who (C)carry about their wooden idols,
(D)and keep on praying to a god
    that cannot save.
21 (E)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 (F)and a Savior;
    there is none besides me.

22 “Turn to me and be saved,
    (G)all the ends of the earth!
    For I am God, and there is no other.
23 (H)By myself I have sworn;
    from my mouth has gone out in (I)righteousness
    a word that shall not return:
(J)‘To me every knee shall bow,
    every tongue shall swear allegiance.’[a]

  1. Isaiah 45:23 Septuagint every tongue shall confess to God

15 And after I have plucked them up, I will again have compassion on them, (A)and I will bring them again each to his heritage and each to his land. 16 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, (B)to swear by my name, ‘As the Lord lives,’ even as they taught my people to swear by Baal, (C)then they shall be built up in the midst of my people.

For the children of Israel (A)shall dwell many days (B)without king or prince, (C)without sacrifice or (D)pillar, without (E)ephod or (F)household gods. Afterward (G)the children of Israel shall return and (H)seek the Lord their God, and (I)David their king, (J)and they shall come in fear to the Lord and to his goodness in the (K)latter days.

Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.

Christ the Hope of Jews and Gentiles

For I tell you that Christ (A)became a servant to the circumcised to show God's truthfulness, in order (B)to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs, and in order (C)that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written,

(D)“Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles,
    and sing to your name.”

10 And again it is said,

(E)“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people.”

11 And again,

(F)“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles,
    and let all the peoples extol him.”

12 And again Isaiah says,

(G)(H)“The root of Jesse will come,
    even he who arises to rule the Gentiles;
(I)in him will the Gentiles hope.”

13 May the God of hope fill you with all (J)joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
