Isaiah 45:14-25
Holman Christian Standard Bible
God Alone is the Savior
14 This is what the Lord says:
The products of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush
and the Sabeans, men of stature,(A)
will come over to you(B)
and will be yours;
they will follow you,
they will come over in chains
and bow down to you.
They will confess[a] to you:
God is indeed with you,(C) and there is no other;
there is no other God.
15 Yes, You are a God who hides Himself,(D)
God of Israel, Savior.(E)
16 All of them are put to shame, even humiliated;(F)
the makers of idols go in humiliation together.
17 Israel will be saved by the Lord
with an everlasting salvation;
you will not be put to shame or humiliated
for all eternity.(G)
18 For this is what the Lord says—
God is the Creator of the heavens.
He formed the earth and made it.
He established it;
He did not create it to be empty,
but formed it to be inhabited(H)—
“I am Yahweh,
and there is no other.
19 I have not spoken in secret,(I)
somewhere in a land of darkness.
I did not say to the descendants of Jacob:
Seek Me in a wasteland.(J)
I, Yahweh, speak truthfully;(K)
I say what is right.
20 “Come, gather together,
and draw near, you fugitives of the nations.
Those who carry their wooden idols,
and pray to a god who cannot save,(L)
have no knowledge.(M)
21 Speak up and present your case[b](N)—
yes, let them take counsel together.
Who predicted this long ago?
Who announced it from ancient times?
Was it not I, Yahweh?
There is no other God but Me,
a righteous God and Savior;(O)
there is no one except Me.(P)
22 Turn to Me and be saved,
all the ends of the earth.
For I am God,
and there is no other.
23 By Myself I have sworn;(Q)
Truth has gone from My mouth,(R)
a word that will not be revoked:
Every knee will bow(S) to Me,
every tongue will swear allegiance.
24 It will be said to Me: Righteousness and strength
is only in the Lord.”
All who are enraged against Him
will come to Him and be put to shame.(T)
25 All the descendants of Israel
will be justified and find glory through the Lord.

Isaiah 45:14-25
New International Version
14 This is what the Lord says:
“The products(A) of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush,[a]
and those tall Sabeans(B)—
they will come over to you(C)
and will be yours;
they will trudge behind you,(D)
coming over to you in chains.(E)
They will bow down before you
and plead(F) with you, saying,
‘Surely God is with you,(G) and there is no other;
there is no other god.(H)’”
15 Truly you are a God who has been hiding(I) himself,
the God and Savior(J) of Israel.
16 All the makers of idols will be put to shame and disgraced;(K)
they will go off into disgrace together.
17 But Israel will be saved(L) by the Lord
with an everlasting salvation;(M)
you will never be put to shame or disgraced,(N)
to ages everlasting.
18 For this is what the Lord says—
he who created the heavens,
he is God;
he who fashioned and made the earth,(O)
he founded it;
he did not create it to be empty,(P)
but formed it to be inhabited(Q)—
he says:
“I am the Lord,
and there is no other.(R)
19 I have not spoken in secret,(S)
from somewhere in a land of darkness;(T)
I have not said to Jacob’s descendants,(U)
‘Seek(V) me in vain.’
I, the Lord, speak the truth;
I declare what is right.(W)
20 “Gather together(X) and come;
assemble, you fugitives from the nations.
Ignorant(Y) are those who carry(Z) about idols of wood,
who pray to gods that cannot save.(AA)
21 Declare what is to be, present it—
let them take counsel together.
Who foretold(AB) this long ago,
who declared it from the distant past?(AC)
Was it not I, the Lord?
And there is no God apart from me,(AD)
a righteous God(AE) and a Savior;(AF)
there is none but me.
22 “Turn(AG) to me and be saved,(AH)
all you ends of the earth;(AI)
for I am God, and there is no other.(AJ)
23 By myself I have sworn,(AK)
my mouth has uttered in all integrity(AL)
a word that will not be revoked:(AM)
Before me every knee will bow;(AN)
by me every tongue will swear.(AO)
24 They will say of me, ‘In the Lord alone
are deliverance(AP) and strength.(AQ)’”
All who have raged against him
will come to him and be put to shame.(AR)
25 But all the descendants(AS) of Israel
will find deliverance(AT) in the Lord
and will make their boast in him.(AU)
