Read in context

Isaiah 45:21–25 · Berean Standard Bible

21 Speak up and present your case— yes, let them take counsel together. Who foretold this long ago? Who announced it from ancient times? Was it not I, the LORD? There is no other God but Me, a righteous God and Savior; there is none but Me.

22 Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.

23 By Myself I have sworn; truth has gone out from My mouth, a word that will not be revoked: Every knee will bow before Me, every tongue will swear allegiance.

24 Surely they will say of Me, ‘In the LORD alone are righteousness and strength.’” All who rage against Him will come to Him and be put to shame.

25 In the LORD all descendants of Israel will be justified and will exult.
