15<br />

For you are God, yet we were not acquainted with you, the God of Israel, the savior.<br />

16<br />

All who oppose him will be ashamed and disgraced, and they will walk in shame.´ Be<br />

restored to me, O islands." 17 Israel is being saved by the Lord with an eternal salvation;<br />

they will not be ashamed or disgraced forever.<br />

18<br />

The Lord who made heaven, this God who displayed the earth and made it (he<br />

marked its boundaries; he did not make it to be empty, but to be inhabited), says this:<br />

"I am, and there is no one else. 19 I have not spoken in secret, nor in a dark place of the<br />

earth. I did not say to the seed of Jacob, `Seek vanity.´ I am, I am the Lord, speaking<br />

righteousness and announcing truth.<br />

20<br />

Gather and come; offer counsel together, you who are being saved from the<br />

nations. Those who lift up wood as their carved image, who pray as if to gods who do<br />

not save, did not know this. 21 If they will announce it, let them approach so that<br />

together they may know who caused these things to be heard from the beginning.<br />

Then it was announced to you, `I am God, and there is no other beside me; there is no<br />

righteous one and savior except me.´ 22 Return to me and you will be saved, you who<br />

are from the end of the earth. I am God, and there is no other. 23 By myself I swear:<br />

righteousness will come out of my mouth. My words will not be turned back, for to me<br />

every knee will bend and every tongue will acknowledge God, A<br />

24 saying,<br />

`Righteousness and glory will arrive with him.´ All who separate themselves will be<br />

ashamed. 25 Due to the Lord they will be declared righteous, and in God all the seed of<br />

the sons of Israel will be glorified.<br />

Isaiah 46<br />

1 Bel has fallen; Dagon B has been crushed. Their carvings are for wild animals and<br />

livestock. You carry them bound like a burden for one who is weary 2 and one who is<br />

hungry, together with one who has fainted because he has no strength, those who will<br />

not be able to be saved from war; they themselves were led away captive.<br />

3 Hear me, O house of Jacob and all the remnant of Israel, who are carried from the<br />

womb and taught from infancy. 4 Until old age, I am, and until you grow old, I am; I am<br />

bearing with you. I made, and I will release; I will take up and save you.<br />

5 To whom did you compare me? Look; be skillful, you who are being deceived.<br />

6 Those who collect gold from a purse and silver in a balance will stand it on a scale.<br />

After they hired a goldsmith, they made handiworks; after they bow down, they<br />

worship them. 7 They carry it on their shoulders and go. If they set it up, it remains in<br />

its place; it will not move. Whoever cries out to him, he will not listen; he will not save<br />

him from wicked things. 8 Remember these things and groan. Repent, you who have<br />

been deceived; return in your hearts. 9 Remember the former things from of old, that I<br />

am God, and there is nothing more beside me. 10 I report the last things first, before<br />

they happen, and they are accomplished at once. I said, `All my counsel will stand, and<br />

I will do all the things which I have planned.´ 11 From the east I am calling a bird, and<br />

from a land far away those concerning whom I have planned. I spoke and brought; I<br />

A acknowledge God ScA ¦ swear by God VS*<br />
