20 “Gather together and come;

assemble, you fugitives from the nations.

Ignorant are those who carry about idols of wood,

who pray to gods that cannot save.

21 Declare what is to be, present it—

let them take counsel together.

Who foretold this long ago,

who declared it from the distant past?

Was it not I, the Lord?

And there is no God apart from me,

a righteous God and a Savior;

there is none but me.

22 “Turn to me and be saved,

all you ends of the earth;

for I am God, and there is no other.

23 By myself I have sworn,

my mouth has uttered in all integrity

a word that will not be revoked:

Before me every knee will bow;

by me every tongue will swear.

20 Assemble yourselves and come;

Draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations:

They have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image,

And pray unto a god that cannot save.

21 Tell ye, and bring them near;

Yea, let them take counsel together:

Who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time?

Have not I the Lord? and there is no God else beside me;

A just God and a Saviour; there is none beside 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,

The word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return,

That unto me every knee shall bow,

Every tongue shall swear.

you fugitives from surrounding nations.

What fools they are who carry around their wooden idols

and pray to gods that cannot save!

21 Consult together, argue your case.

Get together and decide what to say.

Who made these things known so long ago?

What idol ever told you they would happen?

Was it not I, the Lord?

For there is no other God but me,

a righteous God and Savior.

There is none but me.

22 Let all the world look to me for salvation!

For I am God; there is no other.

23 I have sworn by my own name;

I have spoken the truth,

and I will never go back on my word:

Every knee will bend to me,

and every tongue will declare allegiance to me.”

20 “Assemble yourselves and come;

Draw near together,

You who have escaped from the nations.

Yes, let them take counsel together.

Who has declared this from ancient time?

Who has told it from that time?

Have not I, the Lord?

And shall not return,

That to Me every knee shall bow,

Every tongue shall take an oath.

20 “You people who have escaped from other nations,

gather together and come before me;

come near together.

People who carry idols of wood don’t know what they are doing.

They pray to a god who cannot save them.

21 Tell these people to come to me.

Let them talk about these things together.

Who told you long ago that this would happen?

Who told about it long ago?

I, the Lord, said these things.

There is no other God besides me.

I am the only good God. I am the Savior.

There is no other God.

22 “All people everywhere,

follow me and be saved.

I am God. There is no other God.

23 I will make a promise by my own power,

and my promise is true;

what I say will not be changed.

I promise that everyone will bow before me

and will promise to follow me.

23 I have sworn by myself;

a word that shall not return has gone forth from my mouth in righteousness:

‘Every knee shall kneel down to me;

every tongue shall swear.’

20 “Come together, you people of the nations

who escaped from Babylonia.

Gather together and come into court.

Only people who do not know anything

would carry around gods that are made out of wood.

They pray to gods that can’t save them.

21 Tell me what will happen. State your case.

Talk it over together.

Who spoke long ago about what would happen?

Who said it a long time ago?

I did. I am the Lord.

23 I have made a promise with an oath in my own name.

I have spoken with complete honesty.

I will not take back a single word. I said,

‘Everyone’s knee will bow down to me.

Everyone’s mouth will take an oath in my name.’
