Isaiah 45:11-13

International Children’s Bible

¹¹ The Lord is the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker.
    He says this:
“You ask me about what will happen.
    You question me about my children.
    You give me orders about what I have made.
¹² I made the earth.
    And I made all the people living on it.
With my own hands I stretched out the skies.
    I command all the armies in the sky.
¹³ I will bring Cyrus to do good things.
    And I will make his work easy.
Cyrus will rebuild my city,
    and he will set my people free.
Cyrus has not been paid to do these things.
    The Lord of heaven’s armies says this.”
