Isaiah 45:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 Thus saith the Lord, the only one of Israel, and his maker, Ask me [a]of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the works of mine hands: commend you me.
12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, whose hands have spread out the heavens, I have even commanded all their [b]army.
13 I have raised [c]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 [d]price nor reward, saith the Lord of hosts.

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.”
