Isaiah 45:19

Isaiah 45:19

17 ^aBut Israel shall be saved by the Lord
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.

20 “Assemble yourselves and come;
Draw near together,
You who have escaped from the nations.
^aThey 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.
^aWho has declared this from ancient time?
Who has told it from that time?
Have not I, the Lord?
^bAnd there is no other God besides Me,
A just God and a Savior;
There is none besides Me.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Isaiah 45:18

Isaiah 45:20 >>

In secret - The Heathen idols deliver oracles in obscure cells and caverns: but I have delivered my oracles to Israel publickly and plainly. In vain - Serve and worship me for nought. As I appointed them work, so from time to time I have given them abundant recompence. Right - I require nothing of my people which is not highly just and good.
