Isaiah 45:21

Translations

Modern

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.

Traditional

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.

Literal

Declare it and approach, even let them take counsel together: Who has reported this from of old, from that time having declared it? Is it not I, YHWH? And there is no other God besides Me, and a righteous God bringing salvation there is none besides Me.

Latin

Annuntiate, et venite, et consiliamini simul. Quis auditum fecit hoc ab initio, ex tunc prædixit illud? numquid non ego Dominus, et non est ultra deus absque me? Deus justus, et salvans non est præter me.

Notes

Isaiah 45:18–25

Salvation comes only from the Lord. He is the creator, the revealer, and the one who carries out his will in human history. He promised to start a new era of salvation and righteousness (see Isaiah 45:8). Every person will submit to God, either by choice or not (Isaiah 45:23–24).
