Isaiah 45:11-13
Contemporary English Version
11 I am the Lord, the Creator,
the holy God of Israel.
Do you dare question me
about my own nation
or about what I have done?
12 I created the world
and covered it with people;
I stretched out the sky
and filled it with stars.
13 I have done the right thing
by placing Cyrus in power,
and I will make the roads easy
for him to follow.
I am the Lord All-Powerful!
Cyrus will rebuild my city
and set my people free
without being paid a thing.
I, the Lord, have spoken.
Isaiah 45:11-13
New International Version
11 “This is what the Lord says—
the Holy One(A) of Israel, and its Maker:(B)
Concerning things to come,
do you question me about my children,
or give me orders about the work of my hands?(C)
12 It is I who made the earth(D)
and created mankind on it.
My own hands stretched out the heavens;(E)
I marshaled their starry hosts.(F)
13 I will raise up Cyrus[a](G) in my righteousness:
I will make all his ways straight.(H)
He will rebuild my city(I)
and set my exiles free,
but not for a price or reward,(J)
says the Lord Almighty.”
