Isaiah 45:21

Tell ye—and bring near, Yea let them take counsel, together,—Who let this be known aforetime. In time past, declared it? Was it not, I—Yahweh? And there is none else that is God besides me, A GOD, righteous and ready to save, There is none, besides me!

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

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.

In Context

20Assemble yourselves and come Draw near together, ye escaped of the nations,—They know not Who carry the wood of their carved image, And pray unto a GOD who cannot save.

22Turn unto me—and be ye saved, all ye ends of the earth,—For, I, am GOD, and there is none else.
