16. They shall be ashamed, yea, confounded, all of them: they shall go into confusion together that are makers of idols.
17. But Israel shall be saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
18. For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; he is God; that formed the earth and made it; he established it, he created it not a waste, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else.
19. I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness; I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the Lord speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
20. Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that carry the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.
