Isaiah 45:11-13
EasyEnglish Bible
11 The Lord is Israel's Holy God. He is the one who created Israel. He says this about the things that will happen:
‘You should not ask me questions about my children.
You should not tell me what to do
with the people that I have made
12 It is I who made the earth.
I created the people who live on it.
I hung up the sky like a curtain.
I did that with my own hands!
I put all the stars in their places.
13 Now I have woken up Cyrus
to do for me things that are right.
I will make all his paths easy to travel on.
He will build again my city,
and he will make my people free to return home.
Nobody will have to pay him any money
or give him a bribe to do that.’
That is what the Lord Almighty says.

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.”
