Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 45:23

A translation of Yeshayahu 45:23 that I did today. Rabbi Sha’ul quoted it in his epistle to the Romans, 14:11, and it is also alluded to in the epistle to the Philippians, 2:10f, where Sha’ul applies it to Yeshua.

...I am ‘ēl, and (there is) nothing besides [or, nothing still, or, nothing else].
By me, I have sworn; a righteous word goes forth from my lips and it shall not return!
Because, to me, every knee, bow!
(To me,) every tongue, swear!
