The Lord, the Only Savior

14 Thus says the Lord:

(A)“The labor of Egypt and merchandise of Cush
And of the Sabeans, men of stature,
Shall come over to you, and they shall be yours;
They shall walk behind you,
They shall come over (B)in chains;
And they shall bow down to you.
They will make supplication to you, saying, (C)‘Surely God is in you,
And there is no other;
(D)There is no other God.’ ”
