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.
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.
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.
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.
1‘Surely in the Lord I have arighteousness and strength.
To Him men shall come,
And ball shall be ashamed
Who are incensed against Him.
| << Isaiah 45:19 | Isaiah 45:21 >> |
