Isaiah 45:11-13

Modern English Version

¹¹ Thus says the Lord,
    the Holy One of Israel and his Maker:
Ask Me of things to come
    concerning My sons,
    and you shall commit to Me the work of My hands.
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.
