Isaiah 45:14-25
14Thus says Yahweh, “The fruit of the labor of aEgypt and the profit of 1,bEthiopiaAnd the Sabeans, men of stature,Will ccome over to you and will be yours;They will walk behind you; they will come over in dchainsAnd will ebow down to you;They will make supplication to you:‘2Surely, fGod is 3with you, and there is none else,No other God.’”
15Truly, You are a God who ahides Himself,O God of Israel, bSavior!16They will be aput to shame and even dishonored, all of them;The bcraftsmen of idols will go away together in dishonor.17Israel has been saved by YahwehWith an aeverlasting salvation;You bwill not be put to shame or dishonoredTo all eternity.18For thus says Yahweh, who acreated the heavens (He is the God who bformed the earth and made it; He established it and did not create it 1a cformless place, but formed it to be dinhabited), “I am Yahweh, and ethere is none else.
19“aI have not spoken in secret,In 1some dark land;I did not say to the bseed of Jacob,‘cSeek Me in 2a formless place’;I, Yahweh, dspeak righteousness,eDeclaring things that are upright.20“aGather yourselves and come;Draw near together, you who have escaped from the nations;bThey do not know,Who ccarry about their graven image of woodAnd dpray to a god who cannot save.21“aDeclare and draw near with your case;Indeed, let them consult together.bWho has made this heard from of old?Who has long since declared it?Is it not I, Yahweh?And there is cno other God besides Me,A righteous God and a dSavior;There is none except Me.22“aTurn to Me and bbe saved, all the ends of the earth;For I am God, and there is no other.23“aI have sworn by Myself,The bword has gone forth from My mouth in righteousnessAnd will not turn back,That to Me cevery knee will bow, every tongue will dswear allegiance.24“They will say of Me, ‘Only ain Yahweh are righteousness and strength.’Men will come to Him,And ball who were angry at Him will be put to shame.25“In Yahweh all the seed of IsraelWill be ajustified and will bboast.”
