Isaiah 45:19-21
1599 Geneva Bible
19 I have not spoken in secret, neither [a]in a place of darkness in the earth: I said not in vain unto the seed of Jacob, Seek you me: I the Lord do speak righteousness, and declare righteous things.
20 Assemble yourselves, and come: draw near together, [b]ye abject of the Gentiles: they have no knowledge, that set up the wood of their idol, and pray unto a god, that cannot save them.
21 Tell ye and bring them, and let them take counsel together, who hath declared this from the beginning, or hath told it of old? Have not I the Lord? and there is none other God beside me, a just God, and a Savior: there is none beside me.

New International Version
Isaiah 45:19-21
New International Version
19 I have not spoken in secret,(A)
from somewhere in a land of darkness;(B)
I have not said to Jacob’s descendants,(C)
‘Seek(D) me in vain.’
I, the Lord, speak the truth;
I declare what is right.(E)
20 “Gather together(F) and come;
assemble, you fugitives from the nations.
Ignorant(G) are those who carry(H) about idols of wood,
who pray to gods that cannot save.(I)
21 Declare what is to be, present it—
let them take counsel together.
Who foretold(J) this long ago,
who declared it from the distant past?(K)
Was it not I, the Lord?
And there is no God apart from me,(L)
a righteous God(M) and a Savior;(N)
there is none but me.
