Isaiah 45:14-25

New American Standard Bible

¹⁴This is what the Lord says:

“The ^[a]products of ^(A)Egypt and the merchandise of ^[b]^(B)Cush
And the Sabeans, men of stature,
Will ^(C)come over to you and will be yours;
They will walk behind you, they will come over in ^(D)chains
And will ^(E)bow down to you;
They will plead with you:
‘^[c]^(F)God certainly is ^[d]with you, and ^(G)there is no one else,
No other God.’”
¹⁵Truly, You are a God who ^(H)hides Himself,
God of Israel, ^(I)Savior!
¹⁶They will be ^(J)put to shame and even humiliated, all of them;
The ^(K)manufacturers of idols will go away together in humiliation.
¹⁷Israel has been saved by the Lord
With an ^(L)everlasting salvation;
You ^(M)will not be put to shame or humiliated
To all eternity.

¹⁸For this is what the Lord says, He who ^(N)created the heavens (He is the God who ^(O)formed the earth and made it, He established it and did not create it ^[e]as a ^(P)waste place, but formed it to be ^(Q)inhabited):

“I am the Lord, and ^(R)there is no one else.
¹⁹^(S)I have not spoken in secret,
In ^[f]some dark land;
I did not say to the ^[g]^(T)offspring of Jacob,
‘^(U)Seek Me in ^[h]a wasteland’;
I, the Lord, ^(V)speak righteousness,
^(W)Declaring things that are right.

²⁰“^(X)Gather yourselves and come;
Come together, you survivors of the nations!
^(Y)They have no knowledge,
Who ^(Z)carry around ^[i]their wooden idol
And ^(AA)pray to a god who cannot save.
²¹^(AB)Declare and present your case;
Indeed, let them consult together.
^(AC)Who has announced this long ago?
Who has long since declared it?
Is it not I, the Lord?
And there is ^(AD)no other God besides Me,
A righteous God and a ^(AE)Savior;
There is none except Me.
²²^(AF)Turn to Me and ^(AG)be saved, all the ends of the earth;
For I am God, and there is no other.
²³^(AH)I have sworn by Myself;
The ^(AI)word has gone out from My mouth in righteousness
And will not turn back,
That to Me ^(AJ)every knee will bow, every tongue will ^(AK)swear allegiance.
²⁴They will say of Me, ‘Only ^(AL)in the Lord are righteousness and strength.’
People will come to Him,
And ^(AM)all who were angry at Him will be put to shame.
²⁵In the Lord all the offspring of Israel
Will be ^(AN)justified and will ^(AO)boast.”
