Discovery BoxIsaiah 45:6 
Context45:6 I do this 1 so people 2 will recognize from east to west
that there is no God but me;
I am the Lord, I have no peer.
Isaiah 45:21-22
Context45:21 Tell me! Present the evidence! 3
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; 4
there is none but me.
45:22 Turn to me so you can be delivered, 5
all you who live in the earth’s remote regions!
For I am God, and I have no peer.
1 tn The words “I do this” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
2 tn Heb “they” (so KJV, ASV); TEV, CEV “everyone”; NLT “all the world.”
3 tn Heb “Declare! Bring near!”; NASB “Declare and set forth your case.” See 41:21.
4 tn Or “a righteous God and deliverer”; NASB, NIV, NRSV “a righteous God and a Savior.”
5 tn The Niphal imperative with prefixed vav (ו) indicates purpose after the preceding imperative. The Niphal probably has a tolerative sense, “allow yourselves to be delivered, accept help.”
