Isaiah 45:18-20

The Voice

¹⁸ Indeed, He who created the universe—heavens and earth—gave it form and shape.
    The Eternal alone set it all in motion;
He didn’t make it a disorganized wasteland but made it a beautiful and comfortable home.

Eternal One: I am the Eternal One, and there is no other god who exists.
¹⁹         I didn’t whisper in secret or mumble in the darkness;
    I didn’t say to Jacob’s children:
        “Look around the desert and try to find Me.”
    No, I am the Eternal One. I will speak clearly what is right and true.

²⁰     Come, come. Gather around, all who survived among the nations.
        They have no idea what a real God is
    As they coddle their wooden idols,
        and pray to worthless images that cannot save them.
