Isaiah 45:14-25
World English Bible
Isaiah 45:14-25
World English Bible
14 Yahweh says: “The labor of Egypt,
and the merchandise of Ethiopia,
and the Sabeans, men of stature, will come over to you,
and they will be yours.
They will go after you.
They shall come over in chains.
They will bow down to you.
They will make supplication to you:
‘Surely God is in you; and there is no one else.
There is no other god.
15 Most certainly you are a God who has hidden yourself,
God of Israel, the Savior.’”
16 They will be disappointed,
yes, confounded, all of them.
Those who are makers of idols will go into confusion together.
17 Israel will be saved by Yahweh with an everlasting salvation.
You will not be disappointed nor confounded to ages everlasting.
18 For Yahweh who created the heavens,
the God who formed the earth and made it,
who established it and didn’t create it a waste,
who formed it to be inhabited says:
“I am Yahweh.
There is no other.
19 I have not spoken in secret,
in a place of the land of darkness.
I didn’t say to the offspring of Jacob, ‘Seek me in vain.’
I, Yahweh, speak righteousness.
I declare things that are right.
20 “Assemble yourselves and come.
Draw near together, you who have escaped from the nations.
Those have no knowledge who carry the wood of their engraved image,
and pray to a god that can’t save.
21 Declare and present it.
Yes, let them take counsel together.
Who has shown this from ancient time?
Who has declared it of old?
Haven’t I, Yahweh?
There is no other God besides me, a just God and a Savior.
There is no one besides me.
22 “Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth;
for I am God, and there is no other.
23 I have sworn by myself.
The word has gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and will not be revoked,
that to me every knee shall bow,
every tongue shall take an oath.
24 They will say of me,
‘There is righteousness and strength only in Yahweh.’”
Even to him will men come.
All those who raged against him will be disappointed.
25 All the offspring of Israel will be justified in Yahweh,
and will rejoice!
Isaiah 45:14-25
New International Version
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)

King James Version
14 Thus saith the Lord, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God.
15 Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.
16 They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols.
17 But Israel shall be saved in the Lord with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
18 For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else.
19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the Lord speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
20 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.
21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the Lord? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.
22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
24 Surely, shall one say, in the Lord have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.
25 In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
