Isaiah 45:16-18

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁷But Israel is saved by the Lord
    with everlasting salvation;
you shall not be put to shame or confounded
    to all eternity.

¹⁸For thus says the Lord,
who created the heavens
    (he is God!),

    (he established it;
he did not create it a chaos,
    he formed it to be inhabited!):
I am the Lord, and there is no other.
