This is what the LORD says: "The ^(F1)products of ^(C1)Egypt and the merchandise of ^(F2)(C2)Cush And the Sabeans, men of stature, Will ^(C3)come over to you and will be yours; They will walk behind you, they will come over in ^(C4)chains And will ^(C5)bow down to you; They will plead with you: '^(F3)(C6)God certainly is ^(F4)with you, and ^(C7)there is no one else, No other God.'"

Truly, You are a God who ^(C1)hides Himself, God of Israel, ^(C2)Savior!

They will be ^(C1)put to shame and even humiliated, all of them; The ^(C2)manufacturers of idols will go away together in humiliation.

Israel has been saved by the LORD With an ^(C1)everlasting salvation; You ^(C2)will not be put to shame or humiliated To all eternity.

For this is what the LORD says, He who ^(C1)created the heavens (He is the God who ^(C2)formed the earth and made it, He established it and did not create it ^(F1)as a ^(C3)waste place, but formed it to be ^(C4)inhabited): "I am the LORD, and ^(C5)there is no one else.

-"^(C1)I have not spoken in secret, In ^(F1)some dark land; I did not say to the ^(F2)(C2)offspring of Jacob, '^(C3)Seek Me in ^(F3)a wasteland'; I, the LORD, ^(C4)speak righteousness, ^(C5)Declaring things that are right.

"^(C1)Gather yourselves and come; Come together, you survivors of the nations! ^(C2)They have no knowledge, Who ^(C3)carry around ^(F1)their wooden idol And ^(C4)pray to a god who cannot save.

-"^(C1)Declare and present your case; Indeed, let them consult together. ^(C2)Who has announced this long ago? Who has long since declared it? Is it not I, the LORD? And there is ^(C3)no other God besides Me, A righteous God and a ^(C4)Savior; There is none except Me.

-"^(C1)Turn to Me and ^(C2)be saved, all the ends of the earth; For I am God, and there is no other.

-"^(C1)I have sworn by Myself; The ^(C2)word has gone out from My mouth in righteousness And will not turn back, That to Me ^(C3)every knee will bow, every tongue will ^(C4)swear allegiance.

-"They will say of Me, 'Only ^(C1)in the LORD are righteousness and strength.' People will come to Him, And ^(C2)all who were angry at Him will be put to shame.

-"In the LORD all the offspring of Israel Will be ^(C1)justified and will ^(C2)boast."
