Isaiah 45:20-22
New English Translation

20 Gather together and come!
Approach together, you refugees from the nations.
Those who carry wooden idols know nothing,
those who pray to a god that cannot deliver.
21 Tell me! Present the evidence![a]
Let them consult with one another.
Who predicted this in the past?
Who announced it beforehand?
Was it not I, the Lord?
I have no peer, there is no God but me,
a God who vindicates and delivers;[b]
there is none but me.
22 Turn to me so you can be delivered,[c]
all you who live in the earth’s remote regions!
For I am God, and I have no peer.
