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.
20. Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, you that are escaped from the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.
21. Tell and bring forth your case; yea, let them take counsel together: who has declared this from ancient time? who has told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no other God besides me; a just God and a Savior; there is none besides me.
22. Look unto me, and be you saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
23. I have sworn by myself, the word has gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
