12 I made the earth and created humans on it.
    I stretched out the heavens with my own hands.
    I commanded all the stars to shine.
13 I prepared Cyrus for my righteous purpose.
    I will make all his roads straight.
    He will build my city and let my exiles go free
        without any payment or any reward, says Yahweh Tsebaoth.

14 This is what Yahweh says:

The products from Egypt, the merchandise from Sudan,
    and the important Sabaeans will come to you.
        They will belong to you.
        They will follow you.
        They will come to you in chains.
        They will bow to you and pray to you,
            “Certainly El is with you alone, and there is no other Elohim.”

12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.

13 I have raised 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 price nor reward, saith the Lord of hosts.

14 Thus saith the Lord, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God.

The Lord, the Only Savior

14 Thus says the Lord:

(G)“The labor of Egypt and merchandise of Cush
And of the Sabeans, men of stature,
Shall come over to you, and they shall be yours;
They shall walk behind you,
They shall come over (H)in chains;
And they shall bow down to you.
They will make supplication to you, saying, (I)‘Surely God is in you,
And there is no other;
(J)There is no other God.’ ”
