Scriptural Confirmations # 18
18. 16. I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, Jehovah, which call thee by thy name am the God of Israel. I am Jehovah and there is none else, there is no God beside Me: that they may know from the rising and from the setting of the sun, that there is no God beside Me. I am Jehovah and there is none else (Isaiah 45:3-6).
(I have raised him up in justice: he shall build My city, not for price nor reward. Surely God is in Thee, and there is none else, there is no God. Verily Thou art a hidden God, O God of Israel, the Savior (Isaiah 45:13-15).) I am Jehovah; and there is none else (verse 18).
(Am not I Jehovah? and there is no God else beside Me; a just God and a Savior; there is none beside Me. Look unto Me, that ye may be saved, all the ends of the earth, for I am God and there is none else (Isaiah 45:21-22).
I have sworn by myself, justice is gone out of My mouth, the word which shall not be recalled, that unto Me every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall swear (Isaiah 45:23).
Remember the former things from eternity: For I am God, and there is no God else (Isaiah 46:9, 13).
My glory will I not give to another (Isaiah 48:11). I am the First, I also am the Last (Isaiah 48:12).
(The voice of one that crieth in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of Jehovah, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. The glory of Jehovah shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together (Isaiah 40:3-5).)
(O Zion that tellest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain: O Jerusalem that tellest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, behold your God! Behold the Lord Jehovih cometh in strength, and His arm shall rule for Him: behold His reward is with Him, and the price of His work before Him: He shall feed His flock like a shepherd, He shall gather the lambs into His arm, and carry them in His bosom, He shall gently lead those that give suck (Isaiah 40:9-11).)
Isaiah 1
1
The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2
Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
3
The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
4
Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evil-doers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel to anger, they are gone away backward.
5
Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
6
From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
7
Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
8
And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
9
Except the LORD of hosts had left to us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom; we should have been like Gomorrah.
10
Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
11
To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt-offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he-goats.
12
When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
13
Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination to me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot endure; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
14
Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble to me; I am weary to bear them.
15
And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you: yes, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
16
Wash ye, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil;
17
Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be white as snow, though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19
If ye are willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
20
But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
21
How is the faithful city become a harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
22
Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
23
Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come to them.
24
Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of my adversaries, and avenge me of my enemies:
25
And I will turn my hand upon thee, and thoroughly purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:
26
And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counselors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
27
Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
28
And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
29
For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
30
For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
31
And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.
