Isaiah 45:11-18

11This is what the 1Lord says, the Holy One of Israel and 2his 3Maker: “45Ask Me about the things to come 6concerning My 7sons, And you shall commit to Me 8the work of My hands.12It is I who 9made the earth, and created mankind upon it. I 10stretched out the heavens with My hands, And I 11ordained 12all their 13lights.13I have stirred him in 14righteousness, And I will 15make all his ways smooth. He will 16build My city and let My exiles go 17free, Without any payment or reward,” says the Lord of armies.

14This is what the Lord says: “The 18products of 19Egypt and the merchandise of 2021Cush And the Sabeans, men of stature, Will 22come over to you and will be yours; They will walk behind you, they will come over in 23chains And will 24bow down to you; They will plead with you: ‘2526God certainly is 27with you, and 28there is no one else, No other God.’”15Truly, You are a God who 29hides Himself, God of Israel, 30Savior!16They will be 31put to shame and even humiliated, all of them; The 32manufacturers of idols will go away together in humiliation.17Israel has been saved by the Lord With an 33everlasting salvation; You 34will not be put to shame or humiliated To all eternity.

18For this is what the Lord says, He who 35created the heavens (He is the God who 36formed the earth and made it, He established it and did not create it 37as a 38waste place, but formed it to be 39inhabited): “I am the Lord, and 40there is no one else.
