Isaiah 45:16-18
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
16 They are put to shame and disgrace, all of them;
they go in disgrace who carve images.
17 Israel has been saved by the Lord,
saved forever!
You shall never be put to shame or disgrace
in any future age.”
18 For thus says the Lord,
The creator of the heavens,
who is God,
The designer and maker of the earth
who established it,
Not as an empty waste[a] did he create it,
but designing it to be lived in:
I am the Lord, and there is no other.
