12 (A)I made the earth
    and created man on it;
it was my hands (B)that stretched out the heavens,
    and (C)I commanded all their host.
13 (D)I have stirred him up in righteousness,
    (E)and I will make all his ways level;
(F)he shall build my city
    (G)and set my exiles free,
not for price or reward,”
    says the Lord of hosts.
