15 Certainly, you are an El who has hidden himself.
    You are the Elohim of Israel, the Savior!
16 Those who make idols will be ashamed and disgraced.
    They will go away completely disgraced.
17 Israel has been saved by Yahweh forever.
    You will never again be ashamed or disgraced.

18 Yahweh created the heavens.
    Elohim formed the earth and made it.
    He set it up.
    He did not create it to be empty
        but formed it to be inhabited.

This is what Yahweh says:

I am Yahweh, and there is no other.
19 I haven’t spoken privately or in some dark corner of the world.
    I didn’t say to Jacob’s descendants,
    “Search for me in vain!”
    I, Yahweh, speak what is fair and say what is right.

20 Come here, you refugees from the nations.
    Ignorant people carry wooden idols
        and pray to gods that cannot save anyone.
21 Speak and present your case. Yes, let them consult one another.
    Who revealed this in the distant past and predicted it long ago?
    Wasn’t it I, Yahweh?
        There is no other Elohim except me.
            There is no other righteous God and Savior besides me.

22 Turn to me and be saved, all who live at the ends of the earth,
    because I am El, and there is no other.
23 I have bound myself with an oath.
    A word has gone out from my righteous mouth
    that will not be recalled,
        “Every knee will bow to me
            and every tongue will swear allegiance.”
24 It will be said of me,
    “Certainly, righteousness and strength are found in Yahweh alone.”

All who are angry with him will come to him and be ashamed.
25 All the descendants of Israel will be declared righteous,
    and they will praise Yahweh.
