19 I have not spoken baseter (in secret), in a makom eretz choshech; I said not unto the zera Ya’akov, Seek ye Me tohu (in chaos); I am Hashem, the One speaking tzedek, proclaiming meisharim (upright things).

20 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are fugitives escaped of the Goyim; they have no da’as (knowledge, rationality) that burden themselves with their etz pesel (wooden idol), the ones davening to an el lo yoshia (g-d who cannot save).

21 Declare ye, and approach; yes, let them take counsel together. Who hath made this known from mikedem (from olden time)? Who hath preached it from long ago? Have not I, Hashem? And there is no other Elohim besides Me: El Tzaddik and Moshi’a; there is none besides Me.

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.’

    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.
