20 “Come, gather together,
and draw near, you fugitives of the nations.
Those who carry their wooden idols,
and pray to a god who cannot save,(A)
have no knowledge.(B)
21 Speak up and present your case[a](C)
yes, let them take counsel together.
Who predicted this long ago?
Who announced it from ancient times?
Was it not I, Yahweh?
There is no other God but Me,
a righteous God and Savior;(D)
there is no one except Me.(E)
22 Turn to Me and be saved,
all the ends of the earth.
For I am God,
and there is no other.
