Isaiah 45:20-22
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Idols Cannot Save Babylon
20 Assemble yourselves and come together;
draw near, you survivors of the nations!
They have no knowledge—
those who carry about their wooden idols
and keep on praying to a god
that cannot save.(A)
21 Declare and present your case;
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.(B)
22 Turn to me and be saved,
all the ends of the earth!
For I am God, and there is no other.(C)
