The verse stands in Isaiah 41-45, where God fully reveals His purpose for His people. Those chapters should be prayerfully studied. It belongs to a passage affirming that God alone created the earth and all things by His word, showing that creation came into existence at God's command and not from pre-existing matter.
It shows that God does not direct His people to turn away from His wisdom to look to finite human beings for wisdom, but to trust His wisdom. It reminds God's people that they are His servants, redeemed and not forgotten. It calls God's people to look to Him alone and be saved.
