Isa 45:14 The Lord says, The workmen of Egypt, and the traders of Ethiopia, and the tall Sabaeans, will come over the sea to you, and they will be yours; they will go after you; in chains they will come over: and they will go down on their faces before you, and will make prayer to you, saying, Truly, God is among you; and there is no other God.
Isa 45:15 Truly, you have a secret God, the God of Israel is a Saviour!
Isa 45:16 All those who have gone against him will be put to shame; the makers of images will be made low.
Isa 45:17 But the Lord will make Israel free with an eternal salvation: you will not be put to shame or made low for ever and ever.
Isa 45:18 For this is the word of the Lord who made the heavens; he is God; the maker and designer of the earth; who made it not to be a waste, but as a living-place for man: I am the Lord, and there is no other.
Isa 45:19 I have not given my word in secret, in a place in the underworld; I did not say to the seed of Jacob, Go into a waste land to make request of me: I the Lord say what is true, my word is righteousness.
Isa 45:20 Come together, even come near, you nations who are still living: they have no knowledge who take up their image of wood, and make prayer to a god in whom is no salvation.
Isa 45:21 Give the word, put forward your cause, let us have a discussion together: who has given news of this in the past? who made it clear in early times? did not I, the Lord? and there is no God but me; a true God and a saviour; there is no other.
Isa 45:22 Let your hearts be turned to me, so that you may have salvation, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is no other.
Isa 45:23 By myself have I taken an oath, a true word has gone from my mouth, and will not be changed, that to me every knee will be bent, and every tongue will give honour.
Isa 45:24 only in the Lord will Jacob overcome and be strong: together all those who were angry with him will be put to shame and come to destruction.
Isa 45:25 In the Lord will all the seed of Israel get their rights, and they will give glory to him.
Isa 46:1 Bel is bent down, Nebo is falling; their images are on the beasts and on the cattle: the things which you took about have become a weight to the tired beast.
Isa 46:2 They are bent down, they are falling together: they were not able to keep their images safe, but they themselves have been taken prisoner.
Isa 46:3 Give ear to me, O family of Jacob, and all the rest of the people of Israel, who have been supported by me from their birth, and have been my care from their earliest days:
Isa 46:4 Even when you are old I will be the same, and when you are grey-haired I will take care of you: I will still be responsible for what I made; yes, I will take you and keep you safe.
Isa 46:5 Who in your eyes is my equal? or what comparison will you make with me?
Isa 46:6 As for those who take gold out of a bag, and put silver in the scales, they give payment to a gold-worker, to make it into a god; they go down on their faces and give it worship.
Isa 46:7 They put him on their backs, and take him up, and put him in his fixed place, from which he may not be moved; if a man gives a cry for help to him, he is unable to give an answer, or get him out of his trouble.
Isa 46:8 Keep this in mind and be shamed; let it come back to your memory, you sinners.
Isa 46:9 Let the things which are past come to your memory: for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like me;
Isa 46:10 Making clear from the first what is to come, and from past times the things which have not so far come about; saying, My purpose is fixed, and I will do all my pleasure;
Isa 46:11 Sending for a bird of strong flight from the east, the man of my purpose from a far country; I have said it, and I will give effect to it; the thing designed by me will certainly be done.
Isa 46:12 Gi
