¹¹ Thus says the Lord,
The Holy One of Israel, and his Maker:
^(A)“Ask Me of things to come concerning ^(B)My sons;
And concerning ^(C)the work of My hands, you command Me.
^12 (D)I have made the earth,
And ^(E)created man on it.
I—My hands—stretched out the heavens,
And ^(F)all their host I have commanded.
^13 (G)I have raised him up in righteousness,
And I will ^[a]direct all his ways;
He shall ^(H)build My city
And let My exiles go free,
^(I)Not for price nor reward,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
