13. I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall set free my exiles, not for price nor reward,
14. Thus says the LORD,
15. Verily you are a God that hides yourself, O God of Israel, the Savior.
16. They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go in confusion together that are makers of idols.
17. But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: you shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
18. For thus says the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he has established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited:
19. I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the descendants of Jacob, Seek me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
