Isaiah 45:16-25

16All of them are put to shame, even humiliated; the makers of idols go in humiliation together.

17Israel will be saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation; you will not be put to shame or humiliated for all eternity.

18For this is what the Lord says — the Creator of the heavens, the God who formed the earth and made it, the one who established it (he did not create it to be a wasteland, but formed it to be inhabited)  — he says, “I am the Lord, and there is no other.

19I have not spoken in secret, somewhere in a land of darkness. I did not say to the descendants of Jacob: Seek me in a wasteland. I am the Lord, who speaks righteously, who declares what is right.

20“Come, gather together, and approach, you fugitives of the nations. Those who carry their wooden idols and pray to a god who cannot save have no knowledge.

21Speak up and present your case  — yes, let them consult each other. Who predicted this long ago? Who announced it from ancient times? Was it not I, the Lord? There is no other God but me, a righteous God and Savior; there is no one except me.

22Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth. For I am God, and there is no other.

23By myself I have sworn; truth has gone from my mouth, a word that will not be revoked: Every knee will bow to me, every tongue will swear allegiance.

24It will be said about me, ‘Righteousness and strength are found only in the Lord.’” All who are enraged against him will come to him and be put to shame.

25All the descendants of Israel will be justified and boast in the Lord.
