Isaiah 45:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, whose hands have spread out the heavens, I have even commanded all their [a]army.
13 I have raised [b]him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for [c]price nor reward, saith the Lord of hosts.
14 Thus saith the Lord, The labor [d]of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and of the Sabeans, men of stature shall come unto thee, and they shall be [e]thine: they shall follow thee, and shall go in chains: they shall fall down before thee, and make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee, and there is none other God besides.
