21  ^fDeclare and present your case;

let them take counsel together!

Who told this long ago?

Who declared it of old?

Was it not I, the Lord?

And there is no other god besides me,

a righteous God ^gand a Savior;

there is none besides me.

22  “Turn to me and be saved,

^hall the ends of the earth!

For I am God, and there is no other.

23  ⁱBy myself I have sworn;

from my mouth has gone out in ^jrighteousness

a word that shall not return:

^k‘To me every knee shall bow,

every tongue shall swear allegiance.’¹
