11 Thus says the (A)Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his [a](B)Maker:

[b](C)Ask Me about the things to come [c]concerning My (D)sons,
And you shall commit to Me (E)the work of My hands.
12 “It is I who (F)made the earth, and created man upon it.
I (G)stretched out the heavens with My hands
And I [d]ordained (H)all their host.
13 “I have aroused him in (I)righteousness
And I will (J)make all his ways smooth;
He will (K)build My city and will let My exiles go (L)free,
Without any payment or reward,” says the Lord of hosts.
