Isaiah 45:5-25

5I am the LordH3068, and 1thereH369 is noH369 otherH5750; 2BesidesH2108 Me thereH369 is noH369 GodH430. I will 34girdH247 you, though you have not knownH3045 Me;6That 56men may knowH3045 from the risingH4217 to the settingH4628 of the sunH8121 That there is 7noH657 oneH657 besidesH1107 Me. I am the LordH3068, and thereH369 is noH369 otherH5750,7The One 8formingH3335 lightH216 and 9creatingH1254 darknessH2822, CausingH6213 10well-beingH7965 and 11creatingH1254 calamityH7451; I am the LordH3068 who doesH6213 allH3605 theseH428.

8“12DripH7491 downH7491, O heavensH8064, from aboveH4605, And let the cloudsH7834 pourH5140 downH5140 righteousnessH6664; Let the 13earthH776 openH6605 up and salvationH3468 bearH6509 fruitH6509, 14And righteousnessH6666 springH6779 up with it. I, the LordH3068, have createdH1254 it.

9“WoeH1945 to the one who 15quarrelsH7378 with his 16MakerH3335-- An earthenwareH2789 vesselH2789 17amongH854 the vesselsH2789 of earthH127! Will the 18clayH2563 sayH559 to the 19potterH3335, ‘WhatH4100 are you doingH6213?’ Or the thingH6467 you are makingH6467 say, ‘He hasH369 noH369 handsH3027’?10WoeH1945 to him who saysH559 to a fatherH1, ‘WhatH4100 are you begettingH3205?’ Or to a womanH802, ‘To whatH4100 are you 20givingH2342 birthH2342?’”

11ThusH3541 saysH559 the 21LordH3068, the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, and his 2223MakerH3335: “2425AskH7592 Me aboutH5921 the thingsH857 to comeH857 26concerningH5921 My 27sonsH1121, And you shall commitH6680 to Me 28the workH6467 of My handsH3027.12It is I who 29madeH6213 the earthH776, and createdH1254 manH120 upon it. I 30stretchedH5186 out the heavensH8064 with My handsH3027 And I 31ordainedH6680 32allH3605 their hostH6635.13I have arousedH5782 him in 33righteousnessH6664 And I will 34makeH3474 allH3605 his waysH1870 smoothH3474; He will 35buildH1129 My cityH5892 and will letH7971 My exilesH1546 goH7971 36freeH7971, WithoutH3808 any paymentH4242 or rewardH7810,” saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635.

14ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “The 37productsH3018 of 38EgyptH4714 and the merchandiseH5504 of 3940CushH3568 And the SabeansH5436, menH376 of statureH4060, Will 41comeH5674 overH5674 to you and will be yours; They will walkH1980 behindH310 you, they will comeH5674 overH5674 in 42chainsH2203 And will 43bowH7812 downH7812 to you; They will makeH6419 supplicationH6419 to you: ‘44SurelyH389, 45GodH410 is 46with you, and 47thereH369 is noneH369 elseH5750, NoH657 otherH657 GodH430.’”15TrulyH403, You are a GodH410 who 48hidesH5641 Himself, O GodH430 of IsraelH3478, 49SaviorH3467!16They will be 50putH954 to shameH954 and evenH1571 humiliatedH3637, allH3605 of them; The 51manufacturersH2796 of idolsH6736 will goH1980 away togetherH3164 in humiliationH3639.17IsraelH3478 has been savedH3467 by the LordH3068 With an 52everlastingH5769 salvationH8668; You 53will not be putH954 to shameH954 or humiliatedH3637 To allH5703 eternityH5769.

18For thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, who 54createdH1254 the heavensH8064 (He is the GodH430 who 55formedH3335 the earthH776 and madeH6213 it, He establishedH3559 it and did not createH1254 it 56a 57wasteH8414 placeH8414, but formedH3335 it to be 58inhabitedH3427), “I am the LordH3068, and 59thereH369 is noneH369 elseH5750.1960I have not spokenH1696 in secretH5643, In 61someH4725 darkH2822 landH776; I did not sayH559 to the 6263offspringH2233 of JacobH3290, ‘64SeekH1245 Me in 65a wasteH8414 placeH8414’; I, the LordH3068, 66speakH1696 righteousnessH6664, 67DeclaringH5046 thingsH4339 that are uprightH4339.

20“68GatherH6908 yourselves and comeH935; DrawH5066 nearH5066 togetherH3164, you fugitivesH6412 of the nationsH1471; 69They haveH3045 noH3808 knowledgeH3045, Who 70carryH5375 about 71their woodenH6086 idolH6459 And 72prayH6419 to a godH410 who cannotH3808 saveH3467.2173DeclareH5046 and setH5066 forthH5066 your case; IndeedH637, let them consultH3289 togetherH3164. 74WhoH4310 has announcedH8085 thisH2088 from of oldH6924? Who has longH3975 sinceH3975 declaredH5046 it? Is it not I, the LordH3068? And thereH369 is 75noH369 otherH5750 GodH430 besidesH4480H1107 Me, A righteousH6662 GodH410 and a 76SaviorH3467; ThereH369 is noneH369 exceptH2108 Me.2277TurnH6437 to Me and 78be savedH3467, allH3605 the endsH657 of the earthH776; For I am GodH410, and thereH369 is noH369 otherH5750.2379I have swornH7650 by Myself, The 80wordH1697 has goneH3318 forthH3318 from My mouthH6310 in righteousnessH6666 And will not turnH7725 backH7725, That to Me 81everyH3605 kneeH1290 will bowH3766, everyH3605 tongueH3956 will 82swearH7650 allegiance.24They will sayH559 of Me, ‘OnlyH389 83in the LordH3068 are righteousnessH6666 and strengthH5797.’ Men will comeH935 to Him, And 84allH3605 who were angryH2734 at Him will be putH954 to shameH954.25In the LordH3068 allH3605 the offspringH2233 of IsraelH3478 Will be 85justifiedH6663 and will 86gloryH1984.”
