Isaiah 45:14-25
Legacy Standard Bible
14 Thus says Yahweh,
“The fruit of the labor of (A)Egypt and the profit of [a](B)Ethiopia
And the Sabeans, men of stature,
Will (C)come over to you and will be yours;
They will walk behind you; they will come over in (D)chains
And will (E)bow down to you;
They will make supplication to you:
‘[b]Surely, (F)God is [c]with you, and (G)there is none else,
No other God.’”
15 Truly, You are a God who (H)hides Himself,
O God of Israel, (I)Savior!
16 They will be (J)put to shame and even dishonored, all of them;
The (K)craftsmen of idols will go away together in dishonor.
17 Israel has been saved by Yahweh
With an (L)everlasting salvation;
You (M)will not be put to shame or dishonored
To all eternity.
18 For thus says Yahweh, who (N)created the heavens (He is the God who (O)formed the earth and made it; He established it and did not create it [d]a (P)formless place, but formed it to be (Q)inhabited),
“I am Yahweh, and (R)there is none else.
19 (S)I have not spoken in secret,
In [e]some dark land;
I did not say to the (T)seed of Jacob,
‘(U)Seek Me in [f]a formless place’;
I, Yahweh, (V)speak righteousness,
(W)Declaring things that are upright.
20 “(X)Gather yourselves and come;
Draw near together, you who have escaped from the nations;
(Y)They do not know,
Who (Z)carry about their graven image of wood
And (AA)pray to a god who cannot save.
21 (AB)Declare and draw near with your case;
Indeed, let them consult together.
(AC)Who has made this heard from of old?
Who has long since declared it?
Is it not I, Yahweh?
And there is (AD)no other God besides Me,
A righteous God and a (AE)Savior;
There is none except Me.
22 (AF)Turn to Me and (AG)be saved, all the ends of the earth;
For I am God, and there is no other.
23 (AH)I have sworn by Myself,
The (AI)word has gone forth from My mouth in righteousness
And will not turn back,
That to Me (AJ)every knee will bow, every tongue will (AK)swear allegiance.
24 They will say of Me, ‘Only (AL)in Yahweh are righteousness and strength.’
Men will come to Him,
And (AM)all who were angry at Him will be put to shame.
25 In Yahweh all the seed of Israel
Will be (AN)justified and will (AO)boast.”
