45.13
ISAIAH
- 13I have roused him up in victory,
- And I make level all his ways;
- He shall build My city,
- And he shall let Mine exiles go free,
- Not for price nor reward,
- Saith the Lord of hosts.
- 14Thus saith the Lord:
- The labour of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia,
- And of the Sabeans, men of stature,
- Shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine;
- They shall go after thee, in chains they shall come over;
- And they shall fall down unto thee,
- They shall make supplication unto thee:
- Surely God is in thee, and there is none else,
- There is no other God.
- 15Verily Thou art a God that hidest Thyself,
- O God of Israel, the Saviour.
- 16They shall be ashamed, yea, confounded, all of them;
- They shall go in confusion together that are makers of idols.
- 17O Israel, that art saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation;
- Ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
- 18For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens,
- He is God;
- That formed the earth and made it,
- He established it,
- He created it not a waste, He formed it to be inhabited:
- I am the Lord, and there is none else.
- 19I have not spoken in secret,
- In a place of the land of darkness;
- I said not unto the seed of Jacob:
- 'Seek ye Me in vain';
- I the Lord speak righteousness,
- I declare things that are right.
- 20Assemble yourselves and come, draw near together,
- Ye that are escaped of the nations;
- They have no knowledge that carry the wood of their graven image,
- And pray unto a god that cannot save.
- 21Declare ye, and bring them near,
- Yea, let them take counsel together:
- Who hath announced this from ancient time,
- And declared it of old?
- Have not I the Lord?
- And there is no God else beside Me,
- A just God and a Saviour;
- There is none beside Me.
- 22Look unto Me, and be ye saved,
- All the ends of the earth;
- For I am God, and there is none else.
- 23By Myself have I sworn,
- The word is gone forth from My mouth in righteousness,
- And shall not come back,
- That unto Me every knee shall bow,
- Every tongue shall swear.
- 24Only in the Lord, shall one say of Me, is victory and strength;
- Even to Him shall men come in confusion,
- All they that were incensed against Him.
- 25In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel
- Be justified, and shall glory.
- 46Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth;
- Their idols are upon the beasts, and upon the cattle;
- The things that ye carried about are made a load,
- A burden to the weary beast.
- 2They stoop, they bow down together,
