The Lord, the Only Savior
14 Thus says the Lord:
a“The labor of Egypt and merchandise of Cush
And of the Sabeans, men of stature,
Shall come over to you, and they shall be yours;
They shall walk behind you,
They shall come over bin chains;
And they shall bow down to you.
They will make supplication to you, saying, c‘Surely God is in you,
And there is no other;
dThere is no other God.’ ”

16 They shall be aashamed
And also disgraced, all of them;
They shall go in confusion together,
Who are makers of idols.
And also disgraced, all of them;
They shall go in confusion together,
Who are makers of idols.
17 aBut Israel shall be saved by the Lord
With an beverlasting salvation;
You shall not be ashamed or cdisgraced
Forever and ever.
With an beverlasting salvation;
You shall not be ashamed or cdisgraced
Forever and ever.
18 For thus says the Lord,
aWho created the heavens,
Who is God,
Who formed the earth and made it,
Who has established it,
Who did not create it1 in vain,
Who formed it to be binhabited:
c“I am the Lord, and there is no other.

19 I have not spoken in asecret,
In a dark place of the earth;
I did not say to the seed of Jacob,
‘Seek Me1 in vain’;
bI, the Lord, speak righteousness,
I declare things that are right.
