19 (A)I have not spoken in secret,
In [a]some dark land;
I did not say to the [b](B)offspring of Jacob,
(C)Seek Me in [c]a wasteland’;
I, the Lord, (D)speak righteousness,
(E)Declaring things that are right.

20 (F)Gather yourselves and come;
Come together, you survivors of the nations!
(G)They have no knowledge,
Who (H)carry around [d]their wooden idol
And (I)pray to a god who cannot save.
21 (J)Declare and present your case;
Indeed, let them consult together.
(K)Who has announced this long ago?
Who has long since declared it?
Is it not I, the Lord?
And there is (L)no other God besides Me,
A righteous God and a (M)Savior;
There is none except Me.
