Holy Scripture

Isaiah 45:18

A church father on this verse
“For in reality God did not establish the universe in vain or to no purpose but destruction, as those weak-minded people say, but to exist and be inhabited and continue. Therefore the earth and the heaven must exist again after the conflagration and shaking of all things.”
Methodius of Olympus, 4th c. — ON THE RESURRECTION 1:8

Original

18Thus saith the Lord that made the heaven, this God that created the earth, and made it; he marked it out, he made it not in vain, but formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord, and there is none beside.

In context

16All that are opposed to him shall be ashamed and confounded, and shall walk in shame: ye isles, keep a feast to me.

17Israel is saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation: they shall not be ashamed nor confounded for evermore.

— Isaiah 45:18 —

19I have not spoken in secret, nor in a dark place of the earth: I said not to the seed of Jacob, Seek vanity: I, even I, am the Lord, speaking righteousness, and proclaiming truth.

20Assemble yourselves and come; take counsel together, ye that escape of the nations: they that set up wood, even their graven image, have no knowledge, nor they who pray to gods that do not save.
