13 I will raise [Cyrus] up in righteousness [willing in every way that which is right and proper], and I will direct all his ways; he will build My city, and he will let My captives go, not for hire or for a bribe, says the Lord of hosts.

14 Thus says the Lord: The labor and wealth of Egypt and the merchandise of Ethiopia and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over to you and they shall be yours; they shall follow you; in chains [of subjection to you] they shall come over, and they shall fall down before you; they shall make supplication to you, saying, Surely God is with you, and there is no other, no God besides Him.(A)

15 Truly You are a God Who hides Himself, O God of Israel, the Savior.

13 I will raise up Cyrus[a](A) in my righteousness:
    I will make all his ways straight.(B)
He will rebuild my city(C)
    and set my exiles free,
but not for a price or reward,(D)
    says the Lord Almighty.”

14 This is what the Lord says:

“The products(E) of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush,[b]
    and those tall Sabeans(F)
they will come over to you(G)
    and will be yours;
they will trudge behind you,(H)
    coming over to you in chains.(I)
They will bow down before you
    and plead(J) with you, saying,
‘Surely God is with you,(K) and there is no other;
    there is no other god.(L)’”

15 Truly you are a God who has been hiding(M) himself,
    the God and Savior(N) of Israel.
