Isaiah 45:14-25
New American Standard Bible
14 This 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.’”
15 Truly, You are a God who (H)hides Himself,
God of Israel, (I)Savior!
16 They will be (J)put to shame and even humiliated, all of them;
The (K)manufacturers of idols will go away together in humiliation.
17 Israel has been saved by the Lord
With an (L)everlasting salvation;
You (M)will not be put to shame or humiliated
To all eternity.
18 For 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.
24 They 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.
25 In the Lord all the offspring of Israel
Will be (AN)justified and will (AO)boast.”

Isaiah 45:14-25
Common English Bible
14 The Lord says:
Egypt will grow weary, Cush will be sold,[a]
and the tall Sabeans will cross over to you.
They will be yours, and after you they will go.
In chains they will come;
to you they will bow down.
They will plead with you:
“Truly God is with you;
there’s no other, no other God.”
15 Surely you are a god who hides himself,
Israel’s God and savior.
Idols contrasted with God
16 They will all be shamed and disgraced;
the makers of idols will end up disgraced together.
17 Israel has been saved by the Lord of everlasting salvation.
You won’t be shamed,
and you won’t be disgraced forever and always.
18 For this is what the Lord said, who created the heavens,
who is God,
who formed the earth and made it,
who established it,
who didn’t create it a wasteland but formed it as a habitation:
I, the Lord, and none other!
19 I didn’t speak in secret
or in some land of darkness;
I didn’t say to the offspring of Jacob,
“Seek me in chaos.”
I am the Lord, the one who speaks truth,
who announces what is correct.
20 Gather and come,
draw near together,
fugitives of the nations!
Those who carry their wooden idols don’t know;
those who pray to a god who won’t save.
21 Announce! Approach! Confer together!
Who proclaimed this from the beginning, announced it from long ago?
Wasn’t it I, the Lord?
There’s no other God except me,
a righteous God and a savior;
there’s none besides me!
22 Turn to me and be saved,
all you ends of the earth,
for I am God, and there’s no other.
23 I have sworn a solemn pledge;
a word has left my mouth;
it is reliable and won’t fail.
Surely every knee will bow
and every tongue will confess;
24 they will say, “Righteousness and strength come only from the Lord.
All who are angry with him will come to shame.
25 All the Israelites
will be victorious and rejoice.”

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)
