16 Confounded are they all and put to dishonour, thei are gone hence together with shame, euen the makers of images. 17 But Israel shalbe saued in the Lord with an euerlasting saluation: ye shall not come to shame nor confusion world without ende. 18 For thus saith the Lorde, Euen he that created heauen, the God that made the earth & fassioned it, and set it foorth, he dyd not make it for naught, but to be inhabited, euen I the Lorde, without whom there is none other. 19 I haue not spoken secretly, neither in darke places of the earth: I sayde not in vayne to the seede of Iacob, seeke me: I am the Lorde, whiche when I speake, do declare the thing that is righteous and true. 20 Gather you and come together, drawe nigh hither you that escaped of the people: they haue no vnderstanding that set vp the stockes of their idols, and pray vnto a god that can not helpe them. 21 Drawe nye, come hyther, and let them aske counsaile one at another, and shew foorth what is he that told this before? or who spake of it euer since the beginning? haue not I the Lorde done it? without whom there is none other God, the true God and sauiour, and there is els none but I. 22 And therfore turne you vnto me, all ye endes of the earth, that ye may be saued: for I am God, and there is els none. 23 I sweare by my self, out of my mouth commeth the worde of righteousnesse, and that may no man turne: but all knees shall bowe vnto me, and all tongues shall sweare by my name, 24 Saying: veryly in the Lorde is my righteousnesse and strength, to hym shall men come: but all they that thinke scorne of him shalbe confounded. 25 And the whole seede of Israel shalbe iustified, and glory in the Lorde.
