Isaiah 45:14-25
New American Standard Bible
14 This is what the Lord says:
“The [a]products of (A)Egypt and the merchandise of [b](B)Cush
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 plead with you:
‘[c](F)God certainly is [d]with you, and (G)there is no one else,
No other God.’”
15 Truly, You are a God who (H)hides Himself,
God of Israel, (I)Savior!
16 They will be (J)put to shame and even humiliated, all of them;
The (K)manufacturers of idols will go away together in humiliation.
17 Israel has been saved by the Lord
With an (L)everlasting salvation;
You (M)will not be put to shame or humiliated
To all eternity.
18 For this is what the Lord says, He 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 [e]as a (P)waste place, but formed it to be (Q)inhabited):
“I am the Lord, and (R)there is no one else.
19 (S)I have not spoken in secret,
In [f]some dark land;
I did not say to the [g](T)offspring of Jacob,
‘(U)Seek Me in [h]a wasteland’;
I, the Lord, (V)speak righteousness,
(W)Declaring things that are right.
20 “(X)Gather yourselves and come;
Come together, you survivors of the nations!
(Y)They have no knowledge,
Who (Z)carry around [i]their wooden idol
And (AA)pray to a god who cannot save.
21 (AB)Declare and present your case;
Indeed, let them consult together.
(AC)Who has announced this long ago?
Who has long since declared it?
Is it not I, the Lord?
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 out 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 the Lord are righteousness and strength.’
People will come to Him,
And (AM)all who were angry at Him will be put to shame.
25 In the Lord all the offspring of Israel
Will be (AN)justified and will (AO)boast.”

American Standard Version
14 Thus saith Jehovah, The labor of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall go after thee, in chains they shall come over; and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God. 15 Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour. 16 They shall be put to shame, yea, confounded, all of them; they shall go into confusion together that are makers of idols. 17 But Israel shall be saved by Jehovah with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be put to shame nor confounded world without end.
18 For thus saith Jehovah that created the heavens, the God that formed the earth and made it, that established it and created it not [a]a waste, that formed it to be inhabited: I am Jehovah; and there is none else. 19 I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness; I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me [b]in vain: I, Jehovah, speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
20 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that carry the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save. 21 Declare ye, and [c]bring it forth; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath showed this from ancient time? who hath declared it of old? have not I, Jehovah? and there is no God else besides me, a just God and a Saviour; there is none besides me. 22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is none else. 23 By myself have I sworn, [d]the word is gone forth from my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, that unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. 24 Only in Jehovah, it is said of me, is righteousness and strength; even to him shall men come; and all they that were incensed against him shall be put to shame. 25 In Jehovah shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
