12 I have made the earth
    and created man on it.
I, even My hands, have stretched out the heavens,
    and I have ordained all their host.
13 I have raised him up in righteousness,
    and I will direct all his ways;
he shall build My city,
    and he shall let My captives go,
neither for price nor reward,
    says the Lord of Hosts.

The Only Savior

14 Thus says the Lord:

The products of Egypt and merchandise of Ethiopia
    and of the Sabeans—men of stature—
shall come over to you,
    and they shall be yours;
they shall come after you;
    in chains they shall come over,
and they shall fall down before you.
    They shall make supplication to you, saying,
“Surely God is with you, and there is no other;
    there is no other God.”

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)

    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)’”
