Isaiah 45:20-25
English Standard Version
20 (A)“Assemble yourselves and come;
draw near together,
you survivors of the nations!
(B)They have no knowledge
who (C)carry about their wooden idols,
(D)and keep on praying to a god
that cannot save.
21 (E)Declare and present your case;
let them take counsel together!
Who told this long ago?
Who declared it of old?
Was it not I, the Lord?
And there is no other god besides me,
a righteous God (F)and a Savior;
there is none besides me.
22 “Turn to me and be saved,
(G)all the ends of the earth!
For I am God, and there is no other.
23 (H)By myself I have sworn;
from my mouth has gone out in (I)righteousness
a word that shall not return:
(J)‘To me every knee shall bow,
every tongue shall swear allegiance.’[a]
24 (K)“Only in the Lord, it shall be said of me,
are righteousness and (L)strength;
to him shall come and be ashamed
(M)all who were incensed against him.
25 In the Lord all the offspring of Israel
shall be justified and shall glory.”
