Isaiah 45:11-13

Christian Standard Bible

¹¹ This is what the Lord,
the Holy One of Israel^(A) and its Maker, says:
“Ask me what is to happen to^[a] my sons,^(B)
and instruct me about the work of my hands.^(C)
12 I made the earth,
and created humans on it.
It was my hands that stretched out the heavens,^(D)
and I commanded everything in them.
¹³ I have stirred him up in righteousness,^(E)
and will level all roads for him.
He will rebuild my city,^(F)
and set my exiles free,^(G)
not for a price or a bribe,”
says the Lord of Armies.
