Isaiah 45:13-15
1599 Geneva Bible
13 I have raised [a]him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for [b]price nor reward, saith the Lord of hosts.
14 Thus saith the Lord, The labor [c]of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and of the Sabeans, men of stature shall come unto thee, and they shall be [d]thine: they shall follow thee, and shall go in chains: they shall fall down before thee, and make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee, and there is none other God besides.
15 Verily, thou O God [e]hidest thyself, O God, the Savior of Israel.
