16 They have been put to shame and also disgraced—all of them; together they will go forth in disgrace, the makers of idols. 17 Israel has been saved by YHWH, a salvation everlasting! You? will not be put to shame and not disgraced, even to ages—everlasting! 18 For thus says YHWH, the One creating the heavens—He is God—the One forming the earth and making it—He has established it; not as a void did He create it; to be inhabited He formed it: “I am YHWH, and there is no other. 19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the land; I have not said to the seed of Jacob, ‘Seek Me in vain!’ I am YHWH, the One speaking righteousness, declaring uprightness. 20 Assemble yourselves and come, draw near together, O fugitives of the nations! They do not know it, those carrying the wood of their idol and praying to a god that cannot save. 21 Declare it and approach, even let them take counsel together: Who has reported this from of old, from that time having declared it? Is it not I, YHWH? And there is no other God besides Me, and a righteous God bringing salvation there is none besides Me. 22 Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other. 23 By Myself I have sworn, righteousness has gone forth from My mouth, a word that not will turn back; indeed, before Me every knee will bow, every tongue will swear. 24 ‘Only in YHWH—of Me He said—are righteousness and strength!’” They will come to Him and will be ashamed, all those raging against Him. 25 In YHWH all the seed of Israel will be justified and will glory.
