Isaiah 45:18-20

Modern English Version

¹⁸ For thus says the Lord,
who created the heavens,
    who is God,
who formed the earth and made it,
    who has established it,
who did not create it in vain,
    who formed it to be inhabited:
I am the Lord,
    and there is no other.
¹⁹ I have not spoken in secret
    in a dark place of the earth;
I did not say to the descendants of Jacob,
    “Seek Me in a waste place”;
I, the Lord, speak righteousness;
    I declare things that are right.

²⁰ Assemble yourselves and come;
    draw near together, you fugitives of the nations.
They have no knowledge who set up the wood of their carved image,
    and pray to a god that cannot save.
