Isaiah 45:12-14
Amplified Bible
12
“I made the earth and created man upon it.
My hands, stretched out the heavens,
And I commanded all their host.
13
“I have stirred up Cyrus and put him into action in righteousness [to accomplish My purpose]
And I will make all his ways smooth;
He will build My city and let My exiles go,
Without any payment or reward,” says the Lord of hosts.
14 For this is what the Lord says,
“The products of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush (ancient Ethiopia)
And the Sabeans, men of stature,
Will come over to you and they will be yours;
They will walk behind you, in chains [of subjection to you] they will come over,
And they will bow down before you;
They will make supplication to you, [humbly and earnestly] saying,
[a]‘Most certainly God is with you, and there is no other,
No other God [besides Him].’”(A)

12 It is I who made the earth(A)
and created mankind on it.
My own hands stretched out the heavens;(B)
I marshaled their starry hosts.(C)
13 I will raise up Cyrus[a](D) in my righteousness:
I will make all his ways straight.(E)
He will rebuild my city(F)
and set my exiles free,
but not for a price or reward,(G)
says the Lord Almighty.”
14 This is what the Lord says:
“The products(H) of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush,[b]
and those tall Sabeans(I)—
they will come over to you(J)
and will be yours;
they will trudge behind you,(K)
coming over to you in chains.(L)
They will bow down before you
and plead(M) with you, saying,
‘Surely God is with you,(N) and there is no other;
there is no other god.(O)’”
