Isaiah 45:11-15

11 Thus says ^athe Lord,
the Holy One of Israel, and the one who formed him:
^b“Ask me of things to come;
will you command me ^cconcerning my children and ^dthe work of my hands? ^{▼▼A slight emendation yields will you question me about my children, or command me concerning the work of my hands?}
12 ^fI made the earth
and created man on it;
it was my hands ^gthat stretched out the heavens,
and ^hI commanded all their host.
13 ⁱI have stirred him up in righteousness,
^jand I will make all his ways level;
^khe shall build my city
^land set my exiles free,
not for price or reward,”
says the Lord of hosts.

The Lord, the Only Savior

14 Thus says the Lord:
^m“The wealth of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush,
and the Sabeans, men of stature,
shall come over to you ⁿand 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 ^oTruly, you are a God who hides himself,
O God of Israel, the Savior.
