19 I have not spoken in secret,(A)
somewhere in a land of darkness.
I did not say to the descendants of Jacob:
Seek me in a wasteland.(B)
I am the Lord, who speaks righteously,(C)
who declares what is right.

20 “Come, gather together,
and approach, you fugitives of the nations.
Those who carry their wooden idols
and pray to a god who cannot save(D)
have no knowledge.(E)
21 Speak up and present your case[a](F)
yes, let them consult each other.
Who predicted this long ago?
Who announced it from ancient times?
Was it not I, the Lord?
There is no other God but me,
a righteous God and Savior;(G)
there is no one except me.(H)
