- Isaiah 45:20–25
Read Isaiah 45:24 with 45:20–25. By itself, “Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength” can be detached from the speaker, addressee, historical horizon, poetic movement, or outcome that gives it force. The complete unit establishes: Escaped nations carrying idols are invited to consult fulfilled speech, turn, swear allegiance, and confess righteousness, while Israel's seed finds vindication.
Why It Needs Context
The oracle concerning Zion and the nations states or reports “Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength” at Isaiah 45:24 as a specific part of “All Earth Is Summoned to Turn to the Only Savior.” The line cannot responsibly stand apart from the dated setting, surrounding images or speech, and Isaiah 45:20–25's conclusion.
