Isaiah 45:19-21
Lexham English Bible
19 I have spoken not in secrecy, in a place, a land, of darkness,
I have not said to the descendants of Jacob, ‘Seek me in vain!’[a]
I, Yahweh, am speaking righteousness,
declaring uprightness.
20 Assemble and come;
draw near together, survivors of the nations!
They do not know, those who carry their wooden idols[b]
and pray to a god who cannot save.
21 Declare and present your case,
also let them consult together!
Who made this known[c] from former times,[d]
declared it from of old?[e]
Was it not I, Yahweh?
And there is no other god besides me,
a righteous God besides me,
and no savior besides me.
