Isaiah 45:16 in context

Isaiah 45:13–19

13

I have raised him up in righteousness,

and I will make all his ways straight.

He shall build my city,

and he shall let my exiles go free,

not for price nor reward,” says the LORD of Armies.

14

The LORD says: “The labor of Egypt,

and the merchandise of Ethiopia,

and the Sabeans, men of stature, will come over to you,

and they will be yours.

They will go after you.

They shall come over in chains.

They will bow down to you.

They will make supplication to you:

‘Surely God is in you; and there is no one else.

There is no other god.

15

Most certainly you are a God who has hidden yourself,

God of Israel, the Savior.’”

16
Selected verse

They will be disappointed,

yes, confounded, all of them.

Those who are makers of idols will go into confusion together.

17

Israel will be saved by the LORD with an everlasting salvation.

You will not be disappointed nor confounded to ages everlasting.

18

For the LORD who created the heavens,

the God who formed the earth and made it,

who established it and didn’t create it a waste,

who formed it to be inhabited says:

“I am the LORD.

There is no other.

19

I have not spoken in secret,

in a place of the land of darkness.

I didn’t say to the offspring of Jacob, ‘Seek me in vain.’

I, the LORD, speak righteousness.

I declare things that are right.
