Isaiah 45:21

Announce it, and approach, and consult together. Who has caused this to be heard from the beginning, and who has foretold it from that time? Is it not I, the Lord? And is there some other god beside me? I am a just God who saves, and there is no one except me.

Catholic Public Domain Version

In The King James Version

22All ends of the earth, be converted to me, and you will be saved. For I am God, and there is no other.
