17 Israel is saved in the Lord with everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded to all eternity.

18 For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; (he is God:) that formed the earth, and made it: he set it in order; he created it not a waste, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord, and there is none else.

11. ﬁn. Perhaps, ‘leave in my charge the work,’ c. (very doubtful passage).13. ‘present’: or, ‘bribe.’14. ‘labour’: perhaps=wealth, as the reward of labour: ‘merchandise’: or, ‘gain,’ ‘earnings.’17, ‘in,’ or, ‘through the Lord’: (lit.) ‘with salvation of18. ‘set it in order’: or, ‘established it.

19 I have not, spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness 3 I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me, (as in) a waste: I the Lord speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.

20 Assemble yourselves, and come; draw near together, ye escaped of the nations; they know not, that carry the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a God that cannot save.

21 Declare ye, and bring near: yea, let them take counsel together; who hath caused this to be heard from of old, hath declared it from that time? Is it not I, the Lord? and there is no God else beside me: a righteous God and a Saviour; there is none except me.

22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth for I am God, and there is none else.

23 I have sworn by myself, a word is gone forth from a mouth of righteousness, and it shall not return, that unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

24 Only in the Lord, saith one, have I righteousness and strength; unto him shall one come, and all that were inflamed against him shall be ashamed.
