Isaiah 45:16-18

Contemporary English Version

¹⁶ Anyone who makes idols
will be confused
    and terribly disgraced.
¹⁷ But Israel, I, the Lord,
will always keep you safe
    and free from shame.

¹⁸ The Lord alone is God!
He created the heavens
    and made a world
where people can live,
instead of creating
    an empty desert.
The Lord alone is God;
    there are no others.
