Isaiah 45:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
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 [a]army.
13 I have raised [b]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 [c]price nor reward, saith the Lord of hosts.
14 Thus saith the Lord, The labor [d]of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and of the Sabeans, men of stature shall come unto thee, and they shall be [e]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.

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)’”
