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.

The word has gone out of My mouth in righteousness,
And shall not return,
That to Me every bknee shall bow,
cEvery tongue shall take an oath.
