Isaiah 45:13-15
New Catholic Bible
13 I have raised this man for the triumph of justice,
and I will smooth all his paths.
He will rebuild my city
and set my exiles free
without price or ransom,
says the Lord of hosts.
14 Thus says the Lord:
The wealth of Egypt, the commerce of Ethiopia,
and the Sabeans, tall of stature,
will come over to you and belong to you;
they will follow you, wearing chains.
They will bow down before you
and pray to you, saying,
“God is with you alone, and there is no other;
there is no god aside from him.”[a]
15 Truly you are a God who is hidden,
O God of Israel, the Savior.

New International Version
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)’”
