17 Israel will be saved by the Lord
with an everlasting salvation;
you will not be put to shame or humiliated
for all eternity.(A)

18 For this is what the Lord says—
the Creator of the heavens,
the God who formed the earth and made it,
the one who established it
(he did not create it to be a wasteland,
but formed it to be inhabited)(B)
he says, “I am the Lord,
and there is no other.
19 I have not spoken in secret,(C)
somewhere in a land of darkness.
I did not say to the descendants of Jacob:
Seek me in a wasteland.(D)
I am the Lord, who speaks righteously,(E)
who declares what is right.
