Isaiah 45:12-14
Living Bible
Isaiah 45:12-14
Living Bible
12 I have made the earth and created man upon it. With my hands I have stretched out the heavens and commanded all the vast myriads of stars. 13 I have raised up Cyrus[a] to fulfill my righteous purpose, and I will direct all his paths. He shall restore my city and free my captive people—and not for a reward!”
14 Jehovah says: “The Egyptians, Ethiopians, and Sabeans shall be subject to you. They shall come to you with all their merchandise, and it shall all be yours. They shall follow you as prisoners in chains and fall down on their knees before you and say, “The only God there is, is your God!”

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)’”

King James Version
Isaiah 45:12-14
King James Version
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.
