12 “It is I who (A)made the earth, and created man upon it.
I (B)stretched out the heavens with My hands
And I [a]ordained (C)all their host.
13 “I have aroused him in (D)righteousness
And I will (E)make all his ways smooth;
He will (F)build My city and will let My exiles go (G)free,
Without any payment or reward,” says the Lord of hosts.

14 Thus says the Lord,

“The [b]products of (H)Egypt and the merchandise of [c](I)Cush
And the Sabeans, men of stature,
Will (J)come over to you and will be yours;
They will walk behind you, they will come over in (K)chains
And will (L)bow down to you;
They will make supplication to you:
[d]Surely, (M)God is [e]with you, and (N)there is none else,
No other God.’”
