Isaiah 45:18

45:18 For this is what the Lord says,

the one who created the sky –

he is the true God,

the one who formed the earth and made it;

he established it,

he did not create it without order,

he formed it to be inhabited –

“I am the Lord, I have no peer.


tn Heb “he [is] the God.” The article here indicates uniqueness.

tn Or “unformed.” Gen 1:2 describes the world as “unformed” (תֹהוּ, tohu) prior to God’s creative work, but God then formed the world and made it fit for habitation.
