Isaiah 45:11-15
English Standard Version
11 Thus says (A)the Lord,
the Holy One of Israel, and the one who formed him:
(B)“Ask me of things to come;
will you command me (C)concerning my children and (D)the work of my hands?[a]
12 (E)I made the earth
and created man on it;
it was my hands (F)that stretched out the heavens,
and (G)I commanded all their host.
13 (H)I have stirred him up in righteousness,
(I)and I will make all his ways level;
(J)he shall build my city
(K)and set my exiles free,
not for price or reward,”
says the Lord of hosts.
The Lord, the Only Savior
14 Thus says the Lord:
(L)“The wealth of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush,
and the Sabeans, men of stature,
shall come over to you (M)and be yours;
they shall follow you;
they shall come over in chains and bow down to you.
They will plead with you, saying:
‘Surely God is in you, and there is no other,
no god besides him.’”
15 (N)Truly, you are a God who hides himself,
O God of Israel, the Savior.
