20 “Assemble yourselves and come;
Draw near together,
You who have escaped from the nations.
(A)They have no knowledge,
Who carry the wood of their carved image,
And pray to a god that cannot save.
21 Tell and bring forth your case;
Yes, let them take counsel together.
(B)Who has declared this from ancient time?
Who has told it from that time?
Have not I, the Lord?
(C)And there is no other God besides Me,
A just God and a Savior;
There is none besides Me.

22 “Look to Me, and be saved,
(D)All you ends of the earth!
For I am God, and there is no other.

20 Assemble and come;
    draw near together, survivors of the nations!
    They do not know, those who carry their wooden idols[a]
    and pray to a god who cannot save.
21 Declare and present your case,
    also let them consult together!
Who made this known[b] from former times,[c]
    declared it from of old?[d]
Was it not I, Yahweh?
    And there is no other god besides me,
a righteous God besides me,
    and no savior besides me.
22 Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth,
    for I am God and there is none besides me.
