Isaiah 45:20-22
Good News Translation
The Lord of the World and the Idols of Babylon
20 The Lord says,
“Come together, people of the nations,
all who survive the fall of the empire;
present yourselves for the trial!
The people who parade with their idols of wood
and pray to gods that cannot save them—
those people know nothing at all!
21 Come and present your case in court;
let the defendants consult one another.
Who predicted long ago what would happen?
Was it not I, the Lord, the God who saves his people?
There is no other god.
22 “Turn to me now and be saved,
people all over the world!
I am the only God there is.
Isaiah 45:20-22
New International Version
20 “Gather together(A) and come;
assemble, you fugitives from the nations.
Ignorant(B) are those who carry(C) about idols of wood,
who pray to gods that cannot save.(D)
21 Declare what is to be, present it—
let them take counsel together.
Who foretold(E) this long ago,
who declared it from the distant past?(F)
Was it not I, the Lord?
And there is no God apart from me,(G)
a righteous God(H) and a Savior;(I)
there is none but me.
