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 waste place’;
I, the Lord, (D)speak righteousness,
(E)Declaring things that are upright.

20 (F)Gather yourselves and come;
Draw near together, you fugitives of the nations;
(G)They have no knowledge,
Who (H)carry about [d]their wooden idol
And (I)pray to a god who cannot save.
21 (J)Declare and set forth your case;
Indeed, let them consult together.
(K)Who has announced this from of old?
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.
