Isa.45.19

I don't just talk to myself or mumble under my breath. I never told Jacob, "Seek me in emptiness, in dark nothingness.' I am GOD. I work out in the open, saying what's right, setting things right.

Isa.45.19

I have not spoken in secret, from somewhere in a land of darkness; I have not said to Jacob's descendants, 'Seek me in vain.' I, the LORD, speak the truth; I declare what is right.

Isa.45.19

I have not spoken in secret, In a dark place of the earth; I did not say to the seed of Jacob, "Seek Me in vain'; I, the LORD, speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.

Isa.45.19

I publicly proclaim bold promises. I do not whisper obscurities in some dark corner so no one can understand what I mean. And I did not tell the people of Israel to ask me for something I did not plan to give. I, the LORD, speak only what is true and right.
