Charles Ellicott Commentary
"Declare ye, and bring [it] forth; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath showed this from ancient time? who hath declared it of old? have not I, Jehovah? and there is no God else besides me, a just God and a Saviour; there is none besides me." — Isaiah 45:21 (ASV)
Tell you, and bring them near. — Yet another challenge to the idols and their worshippers.
A just God and a Saviour. — Stress is laid on the union of the two attributes, which in human actions are often thought incompatible . In virtue of that union, the invitation of Isaiah 45:22 is addressed to all the ends of the world. The offer of salvation is universal.
