20 So come, you people of the nations,
    you who have escaped from war.
Bring yourselves in front of me together!
People who carry wooden idols are fools!
    They pray to gods who cannot rescue them.
21 Now decide together what you will say in court!
    Tell me what you think!
Who said a long time ago what would happen?
    Who spoke about it long before it happened?
It was I, the Lord!
    There is nobody else like me.
    There is no other God, except me.
I am a righteous God and I save my people.
    There is no other God.
22 So turn to me and I will make you safe.
    I say that to everybody all over the world.
Turn to me, because I am God.
    There is nobody else like me.

    for I am God, and there is no other.(M)
