Discovery BoxIsaiah 45:14 
Context45:14 This is what the Lord says:
“The profit 1 of Egypt and the revenue 2 of Ethiopia,
along with the Sabeans, those tall men,
will be brought to you 3 and become yours.
They will walk behind you, coming along in chains. 4
They will bow down to you
and pray to you: 5
‘Truly God is with 6 you; he has no peer; 7
there is no other God!’”
Isaiah 45:21
Context45:21 Tell me! Present the evidence! 8
Let them consult with one another!
Who predicted this in the past?
Who announced it beforehand?
Was it not I, the Lord?
I have no peer, there is no God but me,
a God who vindicates and delivers; 9
there is none but me.
Isaiah 49:18
ContextAll of them gather to you.
As surely as I live,” says the Lord,
“you will certainly wear all of them like jewelry;
you will put them on as if you were a bride.
Isaiah 51:13
Context51:13 Why do you forget 11 the Lord, who made you,
who stretched out the sky 12
and founded the earth?
Why do you constantly tremble all day long 13
at the anger of the oppressor,
when he makes plans to destroy?
Where is the anger of the oppressor? 14
