Isaiah 45:19-26 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

19. I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth. I have not said to the offspring of Jacob, "Seek me in vain." I am the Lord, who speaks justice, who announces what is right.

20. Assemble yourselves, and approach, and draw near together, you who have been saved among the Gentiles. They lack knowledge, who lift up the wood of their sculpture, and who petition a god unable to save.

21. Announce it, and approach, and consult together. Who has caused this to be heard from the beginning, and who has foretold it from that time? Is it not I, the Lord? And is there some other god beside me? I am a just God who saves, and there is no one except me.

22. All ends of the earth, be converted to me, and you will be saved. For I am God, and there is no other.

23. I have sworn by myself. The Word of justice will proceed from my mouth, and it will not turn back.

24. For every knee shall bend to me, and every tongue shall swear it.

25. Therefore, he will say, "In the Lord are my justices and my dominion." They will go to him. And all who fight against him will be confounded.

26. In the Lord, all the offspring of Israel will be justified and praised.
