Isaiah 45:14-25 - Yahweh The Only Savior

14 This is what the LORD says: "The wealth of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, those Sabeans, men of great heights. They'll come over to you and will be yours; They'll trudge behind you coming over in chains, they'll bow down to you. They'll plead with you, "Surely God is in you; and there is no other God at all.'"

15 "Truly you are a God who hides himself, O God of Israel, the Savior. 16 All of them will be put to shame indeed, disgraced! The makers of idols will go off in disgrace together. 17 But Israel will be saved by the LORD with everlasting salvation; you won't be put to shame or disgraced ever again."

18 For this is what the LORD says, who created the heavens he is God, and the one who formed the earth and made it, and he is the one who established it; he didn't create itfor chaos, but formed it to be inhabited "I am the LORD and there is no other. 19 I didn't speak in secret, from somewhere in a land of darkness; I didn't say to Jacob's descendants, "Seek me in chaos.' I, the LORD, speak truth, declaring what is right.

20 "Gather together and come; draw near and enter, your fugitives from the nations. Those who carry around their wooden idols know nothing, nor do those who keep praying to a god that cannot save. 21 Explain and present a case! Yes, let them take counsel together. Who announced this long ago, who declared it from the distant past? Was it not I, the LORD? And there is no other God besides me, a righteous God and Savior; and there is none besides me. 22 Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth. For I am God, and there is no other. 23 By myself I have sworn from my mouth has gone out integrity, a promise that won't be revoked: "To me every knee will bow, and every tongue will swear.' 24 One will say of me, "Only in the LORD are victories and might.' All who raged against him will come to him and will be put to shame. 25 In the LORD all the descendants of Israel will triumph and make their boast."
