Isaiah 45:18-20
New American Standard Bible
18 For this is what the Lord says, He who (A)created the heavens (He is the God who (B)formed the earth and made it, He established it and did not create it [a]as a (C)waste place, but formed it to be (D)inhabited):
“I am the Lord, and (E)there is no one else.
19 (F)I have not spoken in secret,
In [b]some dark land;
I did not say to the [c](G)offspring of Jacob,
‘(H)Seek Me in [d]a wasteland’;
I, the Lord, (I)speak righteousness,
(J)Declaring things that are right.
20 “(K)Gather yourselves and come;
Come together, you survivors of the nations!
(L)They have no knowledge,
Who (M)carry around [e]their wooden idol
And (N)pray to a god who cannot save.
