Isaiah 45:14-25

Holman Christian Standard Bible

The products of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush
and the Sabeans, men of stature,^(A)
will come over to you^(B)
and will be yours;
they will follow you,
they will come over in chains
and bow down to you.
They will confess^[a] to you:
God is indeed with you,^(C) and there is no other;
there is no other God.

¹⁵ Yes, You are a God who hides Himself,^(D)
God of Israel, Savior.^(E)
16 All of them are put to shame, even humiliated;^(F)
the makers of idols go in humiliation together.
¹⁷ Israel will be saved by the Lord
with an everlasting salvation;
you will not be put to shame or humiliated
for all eternity.^(G)

¹⁸ For this is what the Lord says—
God is the Creator of the heavens.
He formed the earth and made it.
He established it;
He did not create it to be empty,
but formed it to be inhabited^(H)—
“I am Yahweh,
and there is no other.
¹⁹ I have not spoken in secret,^(I)
somewhere in a land of darkness.
I did not say to the descendants of Jacob:
Seek Me in a wasteland.^(J)
I, Yahweh, speak truthfully;^(K)
I say what is right.

²⁰ “Come, gather together,
and draw near, you fugitives of the nations.
Those who carry their wooden idols,
and pray to a god who cannot save,^(L)
have no knowledge.^(M)
21 Speak up and present your case^[b](N)—
yes, let them take counsel together.
Who predicted this long ago?
Who announced it from ancient times?
Was it not I, Yahweh?
There is no other God but Me,
a righteous God and Savior;^(O)
there is no one except Me.^(P)
22 Turn to Me and be saved,
all the ends of the earth.
For I am God,
and there is no other.
²³ By Myself I have sworn;^(Q)
Truth has gone from My mouth,^(R)
a word that will not be revoked:
Every knee will bow^(S) to Me,
every tongue will swear allegiance.
²⁴ It will be said to Me: Righteousness and strength
is only in the Lord.”
All who are enraged against Him
will come to Him and be put to shame.^(T)
25 All the descendants of Israel
will be justified and find glory through the Lord.
