Isaiah 45:11-13

EasyEnglish Bible

‘You should not ask me questions about my children.
You should not tell me what to do
    with the people that I have made
¹² It is I who made the earth.
    I created the people who live on it.
I hung up the sky like a curtain.
    I did that with my own hands!
I put all the stars in their places.
¹³ Now I have woken up Cyrus
    to do for me things that are right.
I will make all his paths easy to travel on.
He will build again my city,
    and he will make my people free to return home.
Nobody will have to pay him any money
    or give him a bribe to do that.’
