Isaiah 45:18-25 MWT . . .יהוה created the heavens. God formed the earth and made it. He set it up. He did not create it for nothing, but formed it even to be inhabited. This is what יהוה says: I am the LORD, and there is no other. (19) I haven't spoken privately or in some dark corner of the world. I didn't say to Jacob's descendants, "Search for me in vain!" I, יהוה, speak what is fair and say what is right. (20) Come here, you refugees from the nations. Ignorant people carry wooden idols and pray to gods that cannot save anyone. (21) Let them speak and present their case. Yes, let them consult one another. Who revealed this in the distant past and predicted it long ago? Wasn't it I, יהוה? There is no other God except me. There is no other righteous God and Savior besides me.
(22) Turn to me and be saved, all you who live at the ends of the earth; because I am יהוה . There is no other God besides me! (23) I have bound myself with an oath.
