Isaiah

Isaiah 45:22–25

²²Turn to Me and be saved,

all the ends of the earth;

for I am God,

and there is no other.

²³By Myself I have sworn;

truth has gone out from My mouth,

a word that will not be revoked:

Every knee will bow before Me,

every tongue will swear allegiance.^d

²⁴Surely they will say of Me,

‘In the LORD alone are righteousness and strength.’”

All who rage against Him

will come to Him and be put to shame.

²⁵In the LORD all descendants of Israel

will be justified and will exult.
