15. Truly You are a God who hides Himself, O God of Israel, Savior!
16. All of them will be ashamed, disgraced— idol-makers go in dishonor together.
17. Israel has been saved by Adonai with an everlasting salvation. You will not be put to shame or disgraced, for ever and ever.
18. For thus says Adonai— He is God who fashioned the heavens, who formed the earth and made it, He established it and did not create it desolate but formed it to be inhabited— “I am Adonai—there is no other!”
19. “I have not spoken in secret, in a place of a land of darkness. I did not say to the seed of Jacob, ‘Seek Me in desolation.’ I, Adonai, speak righteousness, declaring uprightly.”
20. “Assemble yourselves and come, draw near together, fugitives of the nations! Those who carry their wooden idols have no knowledge, praying to a god who cannot save.
21. Declare and present your case, Indeed, let them consult together. Who foretold this from ancient time? Who has declared it of old? Is it not I, Adonai? There is no other God beside Me —a righteous God and a Savior— there is none besides Me!
22. Turn to Me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth. For I am God—there is no other.
23. By Myself I have sworn— the word has gone forth from My mouth in righteousness, and is irrevocable: that to Me every knee will bow, every tongue will swear.
24. They will say of Me, ‘Only in Adonai is righteousness and strength.’ All who have raged against Him will come to Him and be put to shame.
25. In Adonai all the seed of Israel will be justified and give praise.”
