^20 (A)“Assemble yourselves and come;
    draw near together,
    you survivors of the nations!
^(B)They have no knowledge
    who ^(C)carry about their wooden idols,
^(D)and keep on praying to a god
    that cannot save.
^21 (E)Declare and present your case;
    let them take counsel together!
Who told this long ago?
    Who declared it of old?
Was it not I, the Lord?
    And there is no other god besides me,
a righteous God ^(F)and a Savior;
    there is none besides me.

²² “Turn to me and be saved,
    ^(G)all the ends of the earth!
    For I am God, and there is no other.
^23 (H)By myself I have sworn;
    from my mouth has gone out in ^(I)righteousness
    a word that shall not return:
^(J)‘To me every knee shall bow,
    every tongue shall swear allegiance.’^[a]

^24 (K)“Only in the Lord, it shall be said of me,
    are righteousness and ^(L)strength;
to him shall come and be ashamed
    ^(M)all who were incensed against him.
²⁵ In the Lord all the offspring of Israel
    shall be justified and shall glory.”

^(C)“‘You shall worship the Lord your God
    and ^(D)him only shall you serve.’”
