12 I made the earth,
and created man on it.
It was My hands that stretched out the heavens,(A)
and I commanded all their host.
13 I have raised him up in righteousness,(B)
and will level all roads for him.
He will rebuild My city,(C)
and set My exiles free,(D)
not for a price or a bribe,”
says the Lord of Hosts.

God Alone is the Savior

14 This is what the Lord says:

The products of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush
and the Sabeans, men of stature,(E)
will come over to you(F)
and will be yours;
they will follow you,
they will come over in chains
and bow down to you.
They will confess[a] to you:
God is indeed with you,(G) and there is no other;
there is no other God.
