Isaiah 45:20-22

New American Standard Bible 1995

²⁰“^(A)Gather yourselves and come;
Draw near together, you fugitives of the nations;
^(B)They have no knowledge,
Who ^(C)carry about ^[a]their wooden idol
And ^(D)pray to a god who cannot save.
²¹“^(E)Declare and set forth your case;
Indeed, let them consult together.
^(F)Who has announced this from of old?
Who has long since declared it?
Is it not I, the Lord?
And there is ^(G)no other God besides Me,
A righteous God and a ^(H)Savior;
There is none except Me.
²²“^(I)Turn to Me and ^(J)be saved, all the ends of the earth;
For I am God, and there is no other.
