‏ Isaiah 45:23-25

45:23 ^a God’s words are always true. God’s swearing by his own name reinforces the certainty that he will never go back on his word (see also 14:24 ^b; 54:9 ^c; 62:8 ^d; Heb 6:13 ^e).

• Every knee ... every tongue: At the end of time all nations will submit to his authority, whether willingly or unwillingly (see Rom 14:11 ^f; 1 Cor 15:25-27 ^g; Phil 2:10-11 ^h).
45:24 ⁱ In this context, the people are all who turn to the Lord for salvation, even those from foreign nations (45:22 ^j).
45:25 ^k justified: Literally righteous (see also 45:8 ^l, 24 ^m).
