Isaiah 45:9-19 - The Lord Of Creation And History
9
one clay pot among many.
Does clay say to the one forming it,
‘What are you making?’
Or does your work say,
‘He has no hands’?
‘What are you fathering?’
or to his mother,
‘What are you giving birth to?’”
the Holy One of Israel
“Ask Me what is to happen to
and instruct Me about the work of My hands.
and created man on it.
It was My hands that stretched out the heavens,
and I commanded all their host.
and will level all roads for him.
He will rebuild My city,
and set My exiles free,
not for a price or a bribe,”
says the Lord of Hosts.
14 This is what the Lord says:
and the Sabeans, men of stature,
will come over to you
and will be yours;
they will follow you,
they will come over in chains
and bow down to you.
They will confess
God is indeed with you,
there is no other God.
15
God of Israel, Savior.
the makers of idols go in humiliation together.
with an everlasting salvation;
you will not be put to shame or humiliated
for all eternity.
18
God is the Creator of the heavens.
He formed the earth and made it.
He established it;
He did not create it to be empty,
but formed it to be inhabited
“I am Yahweh,
and there is no other.
somewhere in a land of darkness.
I did not say to the descendants of Jacob:
Seek Me in a wasteland.
I, Yahweh, speak truthfully;
I say what is right.
