15 Verily thou art God, that thou might hide thyself; God of Israel, who saves.
16 They shall be ashamed and also confounded, all of them; all the makers of idols shall go forth ashamed.
17 Israel is saved in the Lord, eternal salvation; ye shall never be ashamed nor confounded through all ages.
18 For thus has the Lord said that creates the heavens; God himself that forms the earth, he who made it and established it. He did not create it in vain; he created it to be inhabited; I am the Lord; and there is no one else.
19 I have not spoken in secret in a dark place of the earth. Not without substance did I say unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me; I am the Lord who speaks righteousness, who declares things that are right.
20 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, all ye that are escaped of the Gentiles. They have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image and pray unto the god that does not save.
21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together; who caused this to be heard from the beginning and has declared it from that time, except me, the Lord? and there is no God beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is no one besides me.
