Isaiah 45:18-20
Lexham English Bible
18 For thus says Yahweh, who created[a] the heavens,
he is God, who formed[b] the earth
and who made[c] it.
He himself established it;
he did not create it as emptiness—
he formed it for inhabiting.
“I am Yahweh and there is none besides me.
19 I have spoken not in secrecy, in a place, a land, of darkness,
I have not said to the descendants of Jacob, ‘Seek me in vain!’[d]
I, Yahweh, am speaking righteousness,
declaring uprightness.
20 Assemble and come;
draw near together, survivors of the nations!
They do not know, those who carry their wooden idols[e]
and pray to a god who cannot save.
