¹⁷ But Israel will be saved^(A) by the Lord
    with an everlasting salvation;^(B)
you will never be put to shame or disgraced,^(C)
    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,^(D)
    he founded it;
he did not create it to be empty,^(E)
    but formed it to be inhabited^(F)—
he says:
“I am the Lord,
    and there is no other.^(G)
19 I have not spoken in secret,^(H)
    from somewhere in a land of darkness;^(I)
I have not said to Jacob’s descendants,^(J)
    ‘Seek^(K) me in vain.’
I, the Lord, speak the truth;
    I declare what is right.^(L)
