12 It is I who (A)made the earth, and created mankind upon it.
I (B)stretched out the heavens with My hands,
And I [a]ordained (C)all their [b]lights.
13 I have stirred him in (D)righteousness,
And I will (E)make all his ways smooth.
He will (F)build My city and let My exiles go (G)free,
Without any payment or reward,” says the Lord of armies.

14 This is what the Lord says:

“The [c]products of (H)Egypt and the merchandise of [d](I)Cush
And the Sabeans, men of stature,
Will (J)come over to you and will be yours;
They will walk behind you, they will come over in (K)chains
And will (L)bow down to you;
They will plead with you:
[e](M)God certainly is [f]with you, and (N)there is no one else,
No other God.’”
