Isaiah 45:12-14
Contemporary English Version
Isaiah 45:12-14
Contemporary English Version
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.
The Lord Alone Can Save
14 My people, I, the Lord, promise
that the riches of Egypt
and the treasures of Ethiopia[a]
will belong to you.
You will force into slavery
those tall people of Seba.[b]
They will bow down and say,
“The only true God is with you;
there are no other gods.”
Isaiah 45:12-14
New International Version
Isaiah 45:12-14
New International Version
12 It is I who made the earth(A)
and created mankind on it.
My own hands stretched out the heavens;(B)
I marshaled their starry hosts.(C)
13 I will raise up Cyrus[a](D) in my righteousness:
I will make all his ways straight.(E)
He will rebuild my city(F)
and set my exiles free,
but not for a price or reward,(G)
says the Lord Almighty.”
14 This is what the Lord says:
“The products(H) of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush,[b]
and those tall Sabeans(I)—
they will come over to you(J)
and will be yours;
they will trudge behind you,(K)
coming over to you in chains.(L)
They will bow down before you
and plead(M) with you, saying,
‘Surely God is with you,(N) and there is no other;
there is no other god.(O)’”
