20 The Lord says,“Come together, people of the nations,all who survive the fall of the empire;present yourselves for the trial!The people who parade with their idols of woodand pray to gods that cannot save them—those people know nothing at all!
21 Come and present your case in court;let the defendants consult one another.Who predicted long ago what would happen?Was it not I, the Lord, the God who saves his people?There is no other god.
22 “Turn to me now and be saved,people all over the world!I am the only God there is.
23 My promise is true,and it will not be changed.I solemnly promise by all that I am:Everyone will come and kneel before meand vow to be loyal to me.
24 “They will say that only through meare victory and strength to be found;but all who hate me will suffer disgrace.
25 I, the Lord, will rescue all the descendants of Jacob,and they will give me praise.
