17 (A)But Israel shall be saved by the Lord
With an (B)everlasting salvation;
You shall not be ashamed or (C)disgraced
Forever and ever.

18 For thus says the Lord,
(D)Who created the heavens,
Who is God,
Who formed the earth and made it,
Who has established it,
Who did not create it [a]in vain,
Who formed it to be (E)inhabited:
(F)“I am the Lord, and there is no other.
19 I have not spoken in (G)secret,
In a dark place of the earth;
I did not say to the seed of Jacob,
‘Seek Me [b]in vain’;
(H)I, the Lord, speak righteousness,
I declare things that are right.
